Study explores the impact of climate change on the supply and demand of wind and solar energy

August 4, 2023

Over the past few decades, sustainable energy solutions that rely on renewable sources, particularly the sun and wind, have become increasingly advanced and widespread. Many countries worldwide have committed to drastically lowering carbon emissions in the next decade or so, and these technologies will prove crucial in achieving this.

Estimates by the International Energy Agency (IEA) suggest that by 2050 wind and solar energy technologies could contribute to the generation of approximately 62% of the world’s energy. Recent studies showed that the supply and demand of both wind and solar energy could be adversely impacted by climate change, however.
