Power Breakthrough

Making clean power the most affordable and reliable option for all countries to meet their power needs efficiently by 2030. The Glasgow Breakthrough on Power brings together the efforts of world leaders to rapidly develop, scale up and deploy clean energy solutions – without such international cooperation, says the International Energy Agency, the global net zero emissions goal would be delayed by decades.
