Renewable energy has to double by 2030, or the world risks more power outages and current energy systems rupturing, a major new report has warned.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) State of Climate Services Annual Report said renewable energy produced by various nations is currently less than half of what is needed to reach the Paris Agreement's long-term goal of global temperature stabilisation.
