Assessing The Post-2020 Clean Energy Landscape

A World Resources Institute (WRI) technical note analyzing the clean energy trajectories of major greenhouse gas emitters and the contents of intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) submitted to the United Nations.

• Renewable energy supplies in eight major economies are projected to double by 2030 due to new national climate and energy plans, representing an 18 percent increase over previous growth projections.
• Cumulative clean energy for eight of the ten largest greenhouse gas emitters—Brazil, China, European Union, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, and the United States—is expected to rise from approximately 9,000 TWh in 2012 to 20,000 TWh in 2030, an increase equal to India's current energy demand.
• An analysis of 127 intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) submitted to the United Nations by October 26, 2015, reveals that 80 percent reference clean energy, with 53 percent mentioning targets and 27 percent proposing clean energy actions.
