Whilst being the most advanced economies, the G20 are collectively failing to deploy renewables according to a new report, Ambition on Renewables in the G20 by Climate Group, developed in partnership with REN21.

Using REN21’s data, coupled with data from the global renewables initiative, RE100, run by Climate Group in partnership with CDP, and EY’s Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index (RECAI), the report provides an overview of the huge renewable electricity achievements and opportunities across the G20.

The results show a mixed bag of successes and failures, both in stated ambition of targets and progress. Whilst China, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK are all in the leading pack, with an ‘A’ rating, the laggards are Saudi Arabia and the Russian Federation.
