A landmark new agreement is set to accelerate the rollout of renewable energy across Europe.
The new Fast and Fair Renewables & Grids agreement aims to address the problem of local opposition holding up renewable energy projects.
The agreement brings together developers, local governments, civil society and industry to define a shared framework for building wind, solar and electricity grid projects more quickly and with stronger community backing.
The EU aims to reach 42.5% renewable energy by 2030, requiring massive investment, but permitting delays are widespread.
