What is the Green Power Gap?
Continue scrolling to explore the data.
This report is built on the understanding that development is a human right and that pathways to energy abundance are often pathways to prosperity. Energy-poor countries will continue pursuing energy abundance regardless of whether that future is powered by clean energy or fossil fuels. If the world intends to prevent climate catastrophe and build a better future for all, it must find a way to enable that growth sustainably.
Getting there will not be easy. While an energy transition is already underway in much of the developed world, the energy-poor countries that most need investment and clean power deployment are being left behind.
Closing the Green Power Gap is in every country’s interest. Wealthy countries will suffer the consequences of the climate crisis—whether they reach their net zero goals or not—unless steps are taken to close this gap for everyone. We hope that quantifying this ‘gap’ and outlining new pathways for prosperity in this report can be a key step toward collective action.
