The world has already begun a historic shift towards cleaner sources of energy. Rapid reductions in the cost of solar and wind technologies have led to widespread adoption of these technologies, which are now dominating the global market for new power generation capacity.
The mobility segment kit covers both personal vehicles and fleets. Personal vehicles are parked most of the time. Fleets are usually parked much less than personal vehicles (Table 2.6), but when an entire fleet is parked and plugged in, the battery capacity available to the power grid is much higher.
Annual investment must more than quadruple to remain on the 1.5°C pathway.

Renewable jobs remain resilient in the face of multiple crises
Electricity from renewables must underpin our future energy system. Renewable energy can immediately and significantly reduce global carbon emissions.
The global energy system is undergoing rapid transformation. With the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement serving as inspiration, countries, cities and corporations all over the world continue to take meaningful action on renewable energy development. While a pressing need to increase momentum exists, 2018 has been a year of bold ambition and remarkable achievements. Here are 20 reminders, from media outlets around the world, of how the energy transformation has advanced over the last 12 months.
11 million people now work in renewable energy. This digital story shows which countries lead job creation in the sector and how renewables benefit the economy.
