A few points to note about this data: Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings.
1 · The fast growth of renewable energy over recent years offers us a stronger chance of avoiding the worst effects of climate change. Last year, solar and wind combined made up 8.7% of global electricity generation, compared to 1.7% in 2010.

To achieve the decarbonisation of the electricity sector, a significant amount of renewable energy sources (RES) generation capacity is required to replace the phased-out fossil base load capacities. This process involves electrifying other energy sectors (e.g. transport), which will further increase the electricity demand to be covered by RES.
