The International Energy Agency (IEA) has reported that renewable energy experienced its fastest growth in the past 25 years in 2023. This rapid growth was largely driven by solar energy expansion in China. However, the report emphasizes the urgent need for renewables to grow even faster in order to meet the ambitious climate change targets set in December. The IEA's assessment reflects the critical role of solar and other renewable sources in mitigating the climate crisis, highlighting the need for accelerated adoption and investment in green energy technologies globally.
