Investment in Clean Energy Surpasses Dirty Fossil Fuels
The latest report from the International Energy Agency reveals a significant increase in investment in clean energy projects, reaching over $3 trillion worldwide. The majority of this growth is attributed to spending on clean energy technologies, particularly solar power, which has seen a substantial rise in investments, surpassing all other traditional energy sources combined. While this surge in clean energy funding is promising, challenges persist in ensuring equitable distribution of investments, especially in emerging economies where financial risks pose barriers to sustainable energy development.
