dc.descriptionThis report analyses global trends in renewable energy investment, highlighting it as an economic opportunity that has attracted increasing global investor commitment over the past decade. It shows that in 2018, global investment in renewable energy capacity reached $272.9 billion, exceeding investment in new fossil fuel generation and marking the fifth consecutive year above $250 billion, despite a 12% decline driven by falling technology costs. The report examines capacity additions, financing structures, and technological developments, noting the dominance of solar and wind and the importance of upfront capital and bankability. It finds that cost reductions, competitive procurement, and innovation continue to shape the sector, while overall impacts on electricity generation and emissions remain gradual.en
