2020 was a record year for renewable energy
Global renewable electricity installation hit record levels in 2020 â unlike the fossil fuel sector, which was hit hard by the pandemic. According to the International Energy Agency, almost 90% of new electricity generation in 2020 was renewable, with just 10% powered by gas and coal. Solar power capacity has increased by 18 times since 2010 and wind power by four times, the agency said, predicting that green electricity could overtake coal to become the worldâs largest power source by 2025. The IEA said growing acceptance of the need to tackle the climate crisis by cutting carbon emissions was making renewable energy increasingly attractive to investors. âRenewable power is defying the difficulties caused by the pandemic, showing robust growth while others fuels struggle,â said the IEAâs executive director, Fatih Birol.

Thirty-two-year-old carpenter Sunil Kumar Sharma needed to buy a motorcycle for his latest furniture business so he could zip around their village to take orders. Taking out the loan fell to his wife: In India, as it is around the world, most microfinancing is available primarily to women.
