The first table you show labeled “Net Zero Emissions by 2050” appears to show or project renewables as making up the majority of world energy supply by 2050, with modest increase in nuclear power and declines in fossil fuels. That seems like good news for the climate.

The iea.org site that you referenced (“It’s called a reference”) provides a summary of the role of renewables

https://www.iea.org/energy-system/renewables

“The deployment of renewables in the power, heat and transport sectors is one of the main enablers of keeping the rise in average global temperatures below 1.5°C. In the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario, renewables allow electricity generation to be almost completely decarbonised. Meanwhile, renewable transport fuels and renewable heat contribute to significant emissions reductions in transport, buildings and industry.”
