Two UN reports confirm the world has reached a “positive tipping point” where renewable energy—especially solar and wind—is now consistently cheaper than fossil fuels, making clean energy the most economically attractive option.
In 2024, renewables made up 92.5% of all new electricity capacity and drove 74% of global electricity growth, showing that clean energy is now the dominant force in power generation.
Global investment in renewables soared to $2 trillion last year, surpassing fossil fuel spending by nearly $800 billion—evidence that markets are aligning with climate goals.
However, the transition is still uneven: fossil fuel production continues to rise, and developing regions like Africa face barriers due to high financing costs, requiring more equitable investment to ensure a truly global energy shift.
