The world is facing a sustainable development crisis. The report finds that financing challenges are at the heart of the crisis and imperil the SDGs and climate action. The window to rescue the SDGs and prevent a climate catastrophe is still open but closing rapidly.

This overview sets the scene for the various modules in the Renewables 2024 Global Status Report Collection. It provides high-level trends on the status of renewables in the wider fossil fuel-dominated energy system in the context of global challenges such as climate change, development goals and the geopolitical landscape

The Global EV Outlook is an annual publication that identifies and assesses recent developments in electric mobility across the globe. It is developed with the support of members of the Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI).

The report highlights the key role batteries will play in fulfilling the recent 2030 commitments made by nearly 200 countries at COP28 to put the global energy system on the path to net zero emissions. These include tripling global renewable energy capacity, doubling the pace of energy efficiency improvements and transitioning away from fossil fuels.

The study evaluates the greenhouse gas impacts of different heavy-duty vehicle technologies in India, showing that battery-electric vehicles offer the greatest emissions reductions, enhanced by renewable energy, whereas the benefits of fuel cell vehicles vary based on the hydrogen source.

This report analyses the steps needed to achieve net zero emissions from electricity, and considers the wider implications for energy security, sustainability and affordability.

This report is structured to provide decision makers with an analytical toolkit to design and evaluate their strategies for clean technology manufacturing.

This study proposes comprehensive awareness campaigns to fast-track electric vehicle adoption, expanding charging infrastructure, government-driven policies, and integrating localised technology, specifically focusing on last-mile transport.

The study uses a Well-To-Wheel analysis to estimate external costs for ten different emissions of Battery-Electric Vehicles and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles, considering various pathways and energy sources.

This report presents the findings and recommendations derived from a detailed simulation analysis conducted on Indian distribution systems, complemented by insights from international experiences.
