ABSTRACT

The Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals are driving commitments to climate action and universal access to energy globally. Renewable energy will be central to achieving these commitments, and with falling technology costs, investments in the sector are already on the rise. A welcome 198 GBP billion was invested worldwide in renewable energy in 2015, marking also the largest annual increase of clean energy implementation. 1 Renewable energy is expected to become the largest source in global electricity production by 2030. 2
