Solar power by 2030? Sanders and global voices demand it now

As world leaders gather at the United Nations, a group of prominent figures—including US Senator Bernie Sanders and climate advocate Yeb Saño—has published an open letter demanding a bold shift to clean energy. The letter calls for solar power to be made available everywhere by the end of the decade. The signatories say they write with "great fear and great hope." They point to a world overwhelmed by war and climate disasters—from the conflict in Iran to wildfires in Europe and melting glaciers in Nepal. The message is urgent: the world must come together on clean energy, and it must do so now.
