Record year for renewables also sees financial investment by developing countries overtake that of the developed world in 2015, research shows

It was the first time that renewable energy made up a majority of all the new electricity generation capacity under construction around the world, and the first year in which the financial investment by developing countries in renewables outstripped that of the developed world.
