The world’s wind power industry is falling far short of installing the capacity needed to limit global warming, a report by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) showed.
And the current rate of wind power deployment will not be enough to reach net-zero emissions by the middle of this century, the GWEC said in a statement on Thursday.
This is despite a record 93 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity being installed in 2020, a 53% rise on the year before.
