Wind power is crucial for combating climate change [1]

Wind energy is a key solution in the fight against climate change, and the technology is on track to saving 10 bn tons of CO2 by 2020. This means that more than 65% of all emissions reductions pledges tabled by industrialised at the climate negotiations following the Copenhagen Accord could be met by global wind energy alone. This document shows that the current pledges can and must be revised.
