- 1UN highlights renewables' role in reshaping global energy security●From energy crisis to energy transition: How renewables are reshaping energy security
United Nations coverage examines how the global shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy is transforming energy security in the wake of recent energy crises. The discussion focuses on how countries are turning to wind, solar and other renewables to reduce dependence on volatile fuel supplies and build more resilient, sustainable energy systems.
- 2Coal still supplies a third of the world's electricity●Where does the world's electricity come from? In 2024, coal still produced about a third of it (34%), while wind and sol
New figures on the global electricity mix show coal remained the largest single source in 2024, producing roughly 34% of the world's power, while wind and solar together reached 15%, up sharply from just 4% a decade earlier. The data has been visualised on an interactive world map, letting viewers zoom from global totals down to country-level detail, prompting discussion about the pace of the renewable energy transition.

Environment+Energy Leader reports that older wind and solar installations could become more valuable over time. As renewable infrastructure built decades ago matures, questions are turning to how these sites might be repowered, upgraded or repurposed, and whether existing grid connections and permits make them increasingly attractive assets for developers and investors in the energy transition.
- 4Solar overtakes coal and wind, but bigger shifts lie ahead▼The biggest solar story isn’t that it passed coal and wind. It’s what happens next
Solar power has moved past both coal and wind in the global energy mix, a milestone in the shift to renewables. Commentators say the real story is what comes next: how grids, storage and policy adapt as solar keeps growing at record pace and reshapes the electricity system.
