The United Nations, led by Secretary-General António Guterres, has announced that the world has reached a 'positive tipping point' where renewable energy sources like solar and wind are now more cost-effective than fossil fuels in most regions.
According to recent UN and IRENA reports, over 90% of new electricity capacity in 2024 came from renewables, with solar power now 41% cheaper than fossil fuel alternatives. Guterres emphasized that the clean energy transition is now unstoppable, driven by market forces and smart economics rather than just environmental concerns. He called on governments and the tech sector to accelerate the shift, especially as energy-hungry data centers expand.
The UN urges nations to double energy efficiency, triple renewables capacity by 2030, and ensure the transition is fair and inclusive.
