On our new pathway, achieving universal electricity access by 2035 requires $23 billion of investment each year
Another $4 billion annually is needed to reach clean cooking for all by 2040
Together, this is less than 1% of total energy spending today 👉 iea.li/48HCQrL

China is the top import partner for most countries in the world—
Over the past two decades, China’s role in global trade has expanded substantially. It has become a central hub, particularly through growing relationships with many lower and middle-income countries.

When people talk about countries as “rich” or “poor”, they can mean many different things. But for researchers and policymakers, it helps to have a way to compare countries by income using clear criteria. 🧵

With a new all-time record in June (43 TWh), US 🇺🇸 solar power has now reached 192 TWh so far this year ☀️
That easily surpasses the 2021 TOTAL ANNUAL generation of 164 TWh and almost exceeds the 2022 total (205 TWh).
Between this and coal, I know who I would bet on.

Child mortality rates have plummeted in the last 30 years in low-income countries, such as Ethiopia, Gambia, and Afghanistan.
And in most rich countries, too, child mortality has more than halved — progress that we rarely hear about.

On 2/19/2025 a single location in ERCOT experienced all-time-high prices. What happened, and was the local battery, Rabbit Hill, able to capitalize on these extreme prices?

Do tariffs / import quotas on solar panels help or hurt domestic jobs?
While they boost *manufacturing* jobs they tend to hurt total jobs. That's because most clean energy jobs are in deployment, installation, maintenance etc.

Without a comparative advantage, cheaper energy imports often help domestic jobs.

Scenarios assessed by the IPCC that are consistent with 1.5°C with no or low overshoot have a very large range of gas use.
What this doesn't show if that the world uses a lot of gas, then it means it must use less of something else (e.g. coal or oil, or more CCS or CDR).
This is hard to show!
