The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released a key report in Abu Dhabi today (May 9th) that could influence more tradesmen to sign up for renewable energy courses in the future.

According to the Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation document, 77 per cent of energy could come from sustainable sources by 2050.

This figure may encourage more engineers to sign up for renewable energy courses, so they are trained to install and maintain such equipment as it grows in popularity.

Commenting after the launch, Professor Ottmar Edenhofer, co-chairman of Working Group III, said: "With consistent climate and energy policy support, renewable energy sources can contribute substantially to human wellbeing by sustainably supplying energy and stabilising the climate."

The IPCC, established in 1988, will release its Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change in November 2011.
