More Offshore Wind to Put Paris Agreement Goals Within Reach
For Europe to contribute to limiting global temperature increase to 1.5°C, as set out in the Paris Agreement, it will need a fully decarbonised electricity supply by 2045, something that could be significantly contributed by offshore wind. However, to achieve this, the offshore wind installation rat
