More than ever action cannot be delayed if we want to deliver the necessary wind capacity to reach climate objectives on time. As was made clear at the Glasgow Climate Summit, there is broad consensus on the urgency of promoting rapid and effective decarbonization. Electrification with renewables should act as a lever for global change as the most cost-efficient way to decarbonise the economy.

The latest geopolitical events have put a spotlight on the urgent need to reinforce security of supply, reduce energy dependency and shield against market disruptions caused by high prices. Again, this can only be achieved with a massive deployment of renewables. 

There is a clear understanding on the role of wind in the race to reach the Paris Agreement goal of 1.5°C global warming. GWEC is playing an important role in supporting the development of the wind industry around the world, and this report shows we are moving in the right direction, but there is still a way to go to reach the path of zero-carbon.
