Global investment in clean energy is projected to reach a record US$2.2 trillion in 2025—twice the amount expected for fossil fuels—according to the International Energy Agency. This marks a 2% increase from last year and includes spending on renewables, nuclear, energy storage, low-emissions fuels, and electrification. Solar technology will attract the largest share, with US$450 billion, driven by competitive pricing and adoption in emerging markets. Despite some political leaders advocating for fossil fuels, global fossil fuel investment is set to decline, while China, the US, and the EU will lead clean energy spending. However, China and the US will also remain top investors in fossil fuels, and China continues to approve new coal projects.
