Emerging economies adopt solar power faster than Europe and US

Original: Emerging economies are embracing solar power and skipping fossil fuels much faster than Europe or the US

Emerging economies are adopting solar power at a much faster pace than Europe or the United States, effectively leapfrogging fossil fuel-heavy development paths. According to Deutsche Welle, countries across the developing world are installing solar capacity rapidly, suggesting the global energy transition is now being driven as much by the Global South as by wealthy nations.

Why now: New reporting highlights that developing countries are skipping fossil fuels and leading the solar energy transition, challenging assumptions about who drives decarbonisation.
