It reviews global and regional flows and financing channels, including asset finance, small-scale deployment, public markets, venture capital/private equity, and acquisitions. Key findings include total investment of about $214 billion; renewables supplied 41.3% of new power capacity and 8.5% of generation; and wind proved relatively resilient while solar declined with falling system costs. China surpassed Europe as a center of investment. Public equity issuance recovered while asset finance and VC/PE fell. DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 19, 2026
