Explore the growing supply of renewables and see which countries are leading the charge.
In July, the International Energy Agency rated photovoltaic solar and electric vehicles as the only two climate solutions that were “on track” to meet the world’s net zero by 2050 aspirations.
360info’s map of renewable electricity data from the International Renewable Energy Agency shows that renewables more broadly are still well behind.
In this map illustrating the rise of renewables, bubbles representing countries’ electricity supplies shift from brown to green as more renewables are introduced.
Many medium-sized countries, like Germany, Brazil and Canada, supply over 60 percent of their electricity from renewables.
But the three biggest — China, the United States and India, who collectively make up just over half of the world’s electricity — all produced less than half of it from renewables in 2022.
