Global wind, solar pipeline hits record 4.9 TW, but rich economies fall behind
The global pipeline for wind and solar energy projects has hit a record high of 4.9 terawatts (TW), driven by rapid growth in emerging economies like India and China. However, the report highlights that G7 countries are struggling to translate their climate targets into large-scale deployment of renewable energy projects. This trend is significant for competitive exam preparation as it showcases the global shift towards renewable energy and the role of developing economies in leading this transition.
