DUBAI (Reuters): Governments lined up a slew of energy announcements on Saturday at the UN climate summit in Dubai, where countries are under pressure to come up with plans to halt the non-stop rise in planet-warming emissions.

A pledge to triple the world's renewable energy capacity by 2030 is poised to win support from more than 110 countries on Saturday, with some pushing for the final agreement from the COP28 summit to include it as a global goal.
