INSIGHT-COP28 plan to triple renewables is doable, but not easy, companies say

More than 100 countries at the COP28 climate summit in Dubai have agreed to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 – one of the least controversial commitments floated at the conference. "It is realistic, but there are elements that need to be solved; permitting, leases, grid connections," Anders Opedal, chief executive of Norway's Equinor, a major renewable energy developer, told Reuters. Renewable energy is key to meeting the 2015 Paris climate agreement to limit global warming.
