What Western Canada really has in common is entrepreneurial spirit. Looking forward, 🇨🇦’s #cleanenergy sector will add 210,000 jobs by 2030 with #Alberta experiencing the biggest jump of any province at a 164% increase over the next decade. calgaryherald.com/opinion/co… #cdnpoli #ableg

Big players in #renewableenergy are calling on #G20 leaders to speed up the transition to #cleanenergy. Industry leaders say that even as the cost of #wind/#solar ⬇️ & installations ⬆️,, growth is still too slow to outpace serious #climate consequences. bnnbloomberg.ca/wind-industr…

A new report from BP shows #wind & #solar capacity saw massive growth last year & carbon #emissions fell by 6%. BP says in order to limit #globalwarming heating to 1.5C, the emissions decrease needs to be replicated yearly for 3 decades. theguardian.com/business/202… #ClimateCrisis

☀️ The #NovaScotia government is investing $7.5M to construct the province's first large-scale community solar gardens. The project will allow people who can't install #solar panels, to still use #renewableenergy.

The @IEA pathway leads to a global energy system in 2050 dominated by clean energy:
➡️ Solar is the single largest source of global energy
➡️ Renewables provide almost 90% of electricity
➡️ One-fifth of that electricity is used to produce hydrogen

🔍 The @IEA's #NetZero2050Roadmap shows that global electricity generation from #renewableenergy nearly triples by 2030 and grows eightfold by 2050.
📈 This raises the share of #renewables in total output, from 29% in 2020 to over 60% in 2030 and nearly 90% in 2050.
