In 2023, global investments in green energy surpassed $1.7 trillion, outpacing fossil fuel investments for the first time, according to the International Energy Agency, which could prevent up to 8 billion tons of CO2 emissions by 2030. This surge is largely driven by cost reductions, like solar photovoltaic panels dropping 89% in price since 2010, making green energy more accessible and transformative than ever before.
