In 2024, clean energy reached a record 40% of global electricity, led by China’s massive solar expansion.

Over 92% of new capacity came from renewables, but it’s still only half of what’s needed to meet 2030 goals.

While costs are falling fast, especially due to China, growth is uneven—U.S. progress slowed, and fossil fuels still dominate.

Stronger policies and investment are needed to speed the transition and maximize economic and health benefits.
