#DYK? Global investment in renewable power grew by 7% & reached USD 624 billion in 2024. But #3xRenewables requires a significant scale up of investment to at least USD 1.4 trillion/year in 2025–2030, more than 2x current levels. Read: https://t.co/Lv9JpuhQpo

#2xEnergyEfficiency is a crucial complement to #3xRenewables. Yet, global energy intensity improved by just 1%, well below the 4% target by 2030. This means that annual improvement must now grow by at least 5%. Electrification in end-use through electric #heatpumps & #EVs in

#Solar leads the global #RenewableEnergy boom, w/ solar pv accounting for more than 3/4 of new added capacity. The 452 GW added in 2024 was the highest annual addition of any renewable power technology in a single year so far. More: https://t.co/Lv9JpuhQpo

Modern bioenergy is expected to play an increasingly vital role in the global #energytransition. On the way to Belém, @IRENA is calling for a significant scale of sustainable fuels in energy consumption of no less than 10% by 2040 & 20% by 2050. #COP30noBrasil

U.S. politics are undercutting clean energy at the same time economics are propelling it forward globally. Can the U.S. afford to sit this out?
