In April of this year , solar, wind, hydropower and biomass provided 31% of U.S. electricity.

In 2022 , 29.1% of the world’s electricity was generated by renewable energy resources.

Both supply of and demand for renewables are affected by climate impacts such as high heat, drought and flooding.

Climate change will affect temperatures, rainfall patterns and make droughts and wildfires more likely.

Climate change impacts will likely cause mismatches of supply and demand in many parts of the world.

The energy system as a whole is vulnerable to climate change impacts.

Solutions to the energy system challenges are known but have yet to be sufficiently implemented.

The entire energy system, including renewables, needs to be made more resilient to climate impacts.

New technologies can make renewable energy resources more adaptable.

Some wind turbines are being designed to withstand typhoons by adjusting the pitch or bend of their blades.
