Stepping up renewable energy capacity in the MENA region | World ...
COP28 saw 125 countries across the world commit to tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030. Growth in wind and solar capacity can make the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region a clean energy and green hydrogen hub. But MENA currently lags behind its global peers in this field, according to a World Economic Forum report.
