In 2015, global fossil fuel investment stood at around $820 billion, comfortably ahead of clean energy at about $500 billion. That translates to roughly 61 cents invested in clean energy for every $1 going into fossil fuels.
Fast forward to 2025, and that ratio has flipped to $1.83 in clean energy for every fossil fuel dollar.
In other words, the world currently invests about $2.1 trillion in clean energy compared to roughly $1.15 trillion in oil, gas, and coal.
Today’s visualization and explainer are based on data from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
