In the past week almst 120 glbal leaders have reslved t triple (使增至三倍) the wrld’s renewable energy capacity befre 2030 in an attempt t reduce the glbal cnsumptin f fssil fuels. As the secnd half f the Cp28 UN climate cnference in Dubai unflds , mre cuntries may jin the calls fr a glbal target f 11 TW (太瓦) f renewable pwer by the end f the decade, three times higher than the 3.629 TW in place at the end f 2022.
Renewable energy really culd be tripled in this decade, but it wn’t be a breeze, accrding t the Internatinal Energy Agency (IEA) .
Based n the rate f grwth fr wind and slar pwer, the wrld is n track t meet this target. But the glbal energy watchdg (监察人) has warned that “strnger plicy actins by gvernments” will be required t vercme challenges, such as rising csts, uncertain supply chains and grid (电力网) bttlenecks, which are cnsidered essential t hit the gal f limiting glbal heating t within 1.5C f preindustrialised levels.
Renewable energy surces tripled, the glbal demand fr cal pwer wuld be cut in half by 2030, accrding t estimates. “This is crucial fr 1.5C,”said Dave Jnes, the glbal insights lead fr climate think-tank Ember. “The tripling gal wuld take renewables t the next level, with slar and wind reaching 40% f glbal electricity generatin by 2030.”
The gal has wn the supprt f 118 cuntries. In practice, nt every cuntry will triple its renewable capacity t meet the glbal target. Sme cuntries starting frm a lwer level wuld need t mre than triple their wind and slar pwer, while fr thers with a high share f renewables already, it wuld nt be practical t triple their capacity again.
The prspect f having demand fr cal is a gal wrth struggling fr, but gvernments must stay the curse. Increasing capacity may have been simple in recent years with lw interest rates and gvernment supprt schemes, but the sectr’s prgress fr the rest f the decade is less certain.

Ten years after Starbucks arrived in Vietnam, the utcme is clear: Vietnamese peple lve cffee, but they dn’t really seem t like Starbucks.
Starbucks accunted fr just 2% f Vietnam’s $1.2bn cffee-drinking market in 2022. It has 92 stres, which wrks ut t less than ne fr every millin peple.
Starbucks’ presence remains limited due t the cnsumer preference fr lcal cffee flavrs. Vietnam, after all, is n stranger t cffee: It’s the wrld’s secnd largest exprter f cffee. Fr ne thing, the Starbucks menu is nt diverse. French settlers intrduced cffee t Vietnam in the 19th century. But the first cffee plant was f the Arabica species and did nt adapt well t the cuntry’s ht and humid climate and sil. Later, the French brught Rbusta plants and that is the cffee ppular in Vietnam tday. 97% f the cffee Vietnam cnsumes every year is f the Rbusta variety. Starbucks, hwever, uses 100% Arabica beans. It might explain why even cffee drinkers wh d g t Starbucks dn’t seem t lve what’s available.
Fr anther thing, the Starbuck’s menu has nne f the lcal favrites. Sme lcal Vietnamese brands mix traditinal Rbusta cffee with egg ylk, ygurt, cncentrated milk, ice and even fruit t attract new custmers. Hwever, in Starbucks chain stres, the Java chip frappucins (可可碎片星冰乐) and pumpkin spiced lattes (南瓜丝绒拿铁) that have wn elsewhere just dn’t seem t cut it here.
The menu is by n means inexpensive fr a cmpetitive market like Vietnam, which is anther reasn why Vietnamese peple hesitate t g t Starbucks. A medium-sized drink at Starbucks with nne f the add-ns csts abut $3.6. That’s ut f reach fr mst in a cuntry where the average mnthly wage is nly arund $345.
“I nly went t Starbucks nce, because I wanted t try the luxurius cffee. Starbucks cffee is nthing special tme. It’s t fancy and I dn’t like the taste.” Tram Nguyen says. “I can enjy a quality cffee at a Vietnamese cffee shp at half the price.”
12. Why des the authr give sme figures in paragraph 2?
A. T shw the large ppulatin f Vietnam.
B. T illustrate the slight failure f Starbucks in Vietnam.
C. T intrduce the rapid develpment f Starbucks in Vietnam.
D. T prve the fact that the Vietnamese dislike cffee.
13. Hw many reasns accunt fr the fact that Vietnamese dn’t really seem t like Starbucks?
A. One.B. Tw.C. Three.D. Fur.
14. Which f the fllwing might the Vietamese like?
A. Java chip frappucins with ice.B. Arabica beans with egg ylk.
C Rbusta cffee with ygurt.D. Arabica cffee with cncentrated milk.
15. Which might be the best title fr the text?
A. Starbucks Vietnam: failure t win ver cffee-lving Vietnamese.
B. Starbucks Vietnam: less diversity than Vietnamese lcal cffee.
C. Vietnamese cffee: natinal pride fr the Vietnamese.
D. Starbucks Vietnam: a mdel f glbal luxurius cffee.
