At the COP28 climate conference on Saturday, nearly 120 nations pledged to triple the output of renewable energy on the planet by 2030.

In Dubai, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, along with 118 countries and COP28 President Sultan al-Jaber, launched the Global Pledge on Renewables and Energy Efficiency at the World Climate Action Summit, a press release from the European Commission said.

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to do, just that it’s not a direct commitment to do anything meaningful about climate change which is what we should demand out of these talks. With the price of renewables, governments barely need to do anything to build them out, which they’ve been using to avoid taking real action for years now. This is just a continuation of that same pattern.
