139 Countries Could Move to 100% Renewable Energy by 2050

The majority of these countries already have the resources to start transitioning to clean energy.

“After analyzing countries’ energy data, a group of researchers have created an ambitious plan for nearly 140 countries to fully transition to clean, renewable energy by 2050. The 139 countries the study focuses on account for around 99% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions, a major factor in global warming, according to Spectrum magazine.

The study, published in the energy research journal Joule, creates roadmaps for each of the 139 countries and prioritizes the expansion of current renewable energy programs over the building of brand new facilities, when possible, according to NBC. The team of researchers created specific roadmaps for countries with a diverse range of resources and constraints from big countries like Brazil, China, India, and the US to much smaller ones like Ireland and Singapore…”
