This report by Ember analyzes the declining role of gas in the global electricity mix as of 2025, noting that gas share has fallen for five consecutive years. The analysis highlights that while global gas generation has not yet peaked in absolute terms, its growth has slowed significantly as renewables increasingly meet new electricity demand, particularly in the G7 and large emerging economies.

The Global Energy Monitor's Wind and Solar Year Review 2024 reports that while prospective global utility-scale solar and wind capacity grew by over 20% in 2024, the current pipeline of 4.4 TW is only about half of the 9 TW required to meet the COP28 goal of tripling renewables by 2030.

This briefing from the International Institute for Sustainable Development analyzes global public financial flows to fossil fuels and clean energy in 2022, highlighting a record high in support for fossil fuels and a gap between climate commitments and implementation ahead of COP 28.
