Overview
- The International Energy Agency reports that clean power grows faster than any other energy source in all scenarios, led by rapid global solar deployment.
- A reinstated Current Policies Scenario, reported to follow U.S. pressure, projects oil and gas demand rising toward 2050 with end‑century warming nearing 3°C.
- The IEA says limiting warming to 1.5°C remains technically feasible only with immediate deep action, including no new oil or gas projects.
- The outlook finds that a U.S. policy reversal would leave installed U.S. renewable capacity in 2035 more than 30% below last year’s projection even as global additions accelerate.
- The Global Carbon Project estimates fossil CO2 emissions will hit a record in 2025, highlighting the gap between renewable growth and total emissions.
