Abu Dhabi-Mubasher: Doubling the share of solar, wind and other renewables in the energy mix would boost global economic growth by more than 1.1% by 2030, according to a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
The gains equal to $1.3 trillion would come from increased investment, IRENA added.
This would boost direct and indirect industry employment to 24.4 million people, according to the report.
Last year, IRENA estimated sector employment at as many as 9.2 million people.
