The United States could soon walk away from a trillion-dollar opportunity if some influential player
The United States could soon walk away from a trillion-dollar opportunity if some influential players in the Trump administration have their way. 。
The Paris Climate Agreement may global boost the economy by $19 trillion over the next three decades as countries invest in renewable energy, energy efficiency and zero-emissions transportation, according to a report by two global energy agencies.。

Trump is considering pulling the U.S. out of the global agreement. If he does so, the U.S. could miss out on many of the economic benefits identified in the report, which was commissioned by the German government.。
Beyond protecting the planet, all the world's clean-energy spending will grow the global economy by around 0.8 percent by 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) said Monday in a new study, which it produced with the International Energy Agency (IEA).。
In addition, renewable energy investments could yield an additional 6 million jobs through the same period, the report found. 。
"Critically, the economic case for the energy transition has never been stronger," Adnan Amin, director-general of IRENA, an intergovernmental organization, said Monday in a statement. 。
A key point in the report, though, is that delaying the transition to a cleaner energy system would be more costly.。

Still, that transformation won't come without major investments. Revamping the global energy system could require $145 trillion in investment in low-carbon technologies by mid-century, IRENA said.。
By leaving the Paris agreement, the U.S. would cede its leadership on clean energy to China and other big economies. It would also undermine the world's chances of meeting the Paris goals.。

To achieve the 2-degree target, the world would have to dramatically slash its energy-related carbon dioxide emissions by replacing oil, coal and natural gas with wind, solar and other renewable sources.。
Energy-related CO2 emissions must shrink to 9.5 gigatons by 2050, down from 32 gigatons in 2015, the energy agencies said in their report. That means renewables should account for at least 65 percent of global power generation by the middle of the century -- up from 24 percent today.。
Meanwhile, total fossil fuel use would shrink to a third of today's level. 。

German Chancellor Angela Merkel commissioned the IRENA study to guide upcoming climate and energy discussions for the Group of 20 economies, which began this week in Germany.。
