EU should speed up wind energy roll-out, strengthen renewables target to hit 1.5C goal, says NGO

A non-profit is urging the EU to more than double its yearly deployment of wind energy by 2030 in order to achieve the bloc’s 42.5% renewable energy target, while also advocating for the bloc to strengthen that goal to as much as 50% to better align with the Paris Agreement, according to a report released on Thursday that comes as the bloc is increasingly beset with issues that could hinder those ambitions.
