In 2024, the world hit a record high in renewable energy capacity, adding 741 GW, but emissions continued to climb, and the planet remains far off track from the COP28 tripling target by 2030.

📊 This post is based on verified data from REN21's Global Status Report 2025 (covering calendar year 2024).

🔋 Key Highlights

⚡ Solar PV added 602 GW (81% of new capacity)

💨 Wind added 117 GW

💰 Global renewable investment hit $2.1 trillion

🌡️ Emissions rose by 0.8%

🔥 Fossil fuels still generated 59.1% of electricity

📈 CO₂ Emissions vs Temperature Rise (2021–2024) A steady increase in both emissions and global temperature anomalies highlights the need for faster action. 🟧 CO₂ rose from 36.4 Gt to 37.8 Gt 🟦 Temperature rose from 1.17°C to 1.55°C
