This policy briefing by Ember argues that for the global goal of tripling renewable capacity agreed at COP28 to be met, G7 countries must collectively triple their own capacity from 0.9 TW in 2022 to 2.7 TW by 2030. The document highlights a 0.7 TW gap between current G7 targets and this tripling goal.

The April 2024 report by Global Energy Monitor and partners reveals that while global coal capacity reached a record 2,130 GW in 2023, there is a stark divide: China continues to expand its fleet, while most other countries are reducing new construction. The report highlights that only 15% of operational capacity has retirement plans aligned with the 1.5°C goal. Regional analysis shows significant progress in the EU and UK, stability in Sub-Saharan Africa (dominated by South Africa), and a lack of new projects in the MENA region.

This report by Global Energy Monitor and partners analyzes global coal power trends in 2023, highlighting a contradiction where global operating capacity reached a historic high despite a general decline in new construction outside China. It focuses heavily on Indonesia, where the growth of 'captive' coal plants for industrial smelters and a lack of clear phase-out targets threaten climate goals.

This document is a Japanese translation of an excerpt from the 'Boom & Bust Coal 2024' report by Global Energy Monitor and its partners. It tracks global coal-fired power plant plans as of April 2024, highlighting a contradiction where global coal capacity reached record highs in 2023 despite a general trend of shrinking development pipelines in most countries except China.

This document is a Korean translation of selected sections from the 'Boom & Bust Coal 2024' report by Global Energy Monitor (GEM) and its partners. It analyzes global trends in coal power plant capacity as of April 2024, highlighting a contradiction where global capacity reached record highs in 2023 despite a general decline in new project starts outside of China. The text provides specific regional updates, with a detailed focus on South Korea's coal phase-out challenges, financial risks associated with Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), and the socio-economic implications of a just transition.

This document is a Portuguese translation of excerpts from the 'Boom & Bust Coal 2024' report by Global Energy Monitor and its partners.

The text provides detailed updates on coal trends in China, India, the G7, G20, and specifically focuses on the status of coal plants and phase-out commitments across Latin America.

This report, published in April 2024 by Global Energy Monitor and several partner organizations, tracks the global development of coal-fired power plants. It highlights a divergence in trends: while new construction is reaching record lows outside of China, China is seeing an eight-year high in new construction. The report specifically examines the risks of expanding coal capacity in Central Asia, where proposed projects contradict climate goals and add to an aging, worn-out energy infrastructure.
