Solar dominated employment in the renewable energy sector in 2024, accounting for over 40% of the global renewables workforce, the most of any sector.

The US has withdrawn from a number of UN climate organisations, including the Framework Convention on Climate Change, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The world invested US$554 billion into solar PV projects in 2024, leading renewable electricity generation sources, according to IRENA.

A report by IRENA and others has highlighted the need for yearly renewable energy deployments to almost double between now and 2030.

Representatives from the EU, IEA and IRENA have signed an open letter to deliver a 'just and equitable energy transition'.

According to a report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the global levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) for solar PV reached US$0.043/kWh in 2024.

Renewable electricity generation has grown more than twice as fast as total global electricity generation since 2012, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

The world added 451.9GW of new solar capacity in 2024, accounting for three-quarters of all new renewable power capacity commissioned last year.

The deployment of grid infrastructure and energy storage is a key element to avoid delaying global energy transition, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

The world will need to invest US$1.5 trillion per year until 2030 to meet the target of tripling clean power capacity by 2030.
