In a groundbreaking development, the International Energy Agency (IEA) announced on Thursday that investment in clean energy is set to outpace spending on fossil fuels this year, marking a significant turning point in the global energy landscape. The IEA's World Energy Investment report revealed that annual investment in renewable energy has surged by nearly a quarter since 2021, compared to a 15% rise for fossil fuels. This shift is driven by the remarkable growth of solar projects, which are expected to surpass investments in oil production for the first time.
