Progress, Shortfalls and Emerging Opportunities in Energy Transition Investment

As global energy transition investment reached a record USD 2.4 trillion in 2024, significant gaps remain in funding for key technologies and regions, underscoring the need for impact-driven finance and stronger public sector leadership to ensure all countries can meet the 2030 target of tripling renewable power capacity.

Five Takeaways from COP30 in Belém

At COP30 in Belém, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) launched progress-tracking reports, provided climate support to countries, and identified five priority areas including implementation, grids, finance, supply chains, and workforce to accelerate the energy transition toward 1.5°C goals.

Global Renewable Energy Investment Hit USD 807 Billion in 2024

Global investments in the energy transition reached a new record of USD 2.4 trillion in 2024 – a 20% increase from the average annual levels of 2022/23.

Global utilities set out USD 1 trillion investment plans at COP30 as grid spend grows

Global utilities today unveiled upgraded annual investment plans that will see energy transition spend rise to US $148 billion per year, up from previously stated ambitions of US $117 billion. The plans revealed by members of the Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA) today at COP30, will see a group of the world’s leading utilities mobilise more than USD 1 trillion in energy transition investments to 2030 since establishment at COP28.

Why Investing in People is Vital for the Energy Transition

As the renewable energy sector races to create over 100 million jobs by 2030, there is an opportunity to ensure people worldwide, particularly youth, women, and underrepresented groups, have the skills and training needed to deliver the energy transition and benefit from its opportunities.

Powering COP30: NDC 3.0 and the Race to Meet the Goal of Tripling Renewables by 2030

As only 72 countries have submitted NDC 3.0 targeting 6.9 TW of renewable capacity by 2030, falling short of the 11.2 TW tripling goal, there is an urgent opportunity through increased climate finance to bridge the gap, particularly for LDCs, SIDS, and Sub-Saharan Africa requiring USD 117 billion in external funding.

Environment

3.3 billion-year-old crystals reveal a shockingly active early Earth

Fresh evidence suggests early Earth wasn’t locked under a rigid stagnant lid but was already experiencing intense subduction. Ancient melt inclusions and advanced simulations point to continents forming far earlier than expected. The findings overturn long-held assumptions about the planet’s infancy and reveal a surprisingly active Hadean world.

New data reveals one of the smallest ozone holes in decades

This year’s ozone hole over Antarctica ranked among the smallest since the early 1990s, reflecting steady progress from decades of global action under the Montreal Protocol. Declining chlorine levels and warmer stratospheric temperatures helped limit ozone destruction. Scientists say the layer remains on track to recover later this century.

Hornet-eating frog shows remarkable venom resistance

Experiments reveal that pond frogs can eat highly venomous hornets without suffering noticeable damage, even after repeated stings. Most frogs successfully consumed hornets, including the notorious Asian giant hornet. This unusual resilience suggests that frogs may have evolved mechanisms to block the effects of venom. Their resistance could help scientists uncover new insights into pain and toxin tolerance.

Scientists capture flu viruses surfing into human cells in real time

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren’t just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking imaging technique, researchers discovered that our cells actually reach out and “grab” the virus as it searches for the perfect entry point, surfing along the membrane.

Early Earth’s sky may have created the first ingredients for life

Researchers recreated conditions from billions of years ago and found that Earth’s young atmosphere could make key molecules linked to life. These sulfur-rich compounds, including certain amino acids, may have formed naturally in the sky. The results suggest early Earth wasn’t starting from zero but may have already been stocked with essential ingredients.

Doomed ants send a final scent to save their colony

Ant pupae that are fatally sick don’t hide their condition; instead, they release a special scent that warns the rest of the colony. This signal prompts worker ants to open the pupae’s cocoons and disinfect them with formic acid, stopping the infection before it can spread. Although the treatment kills the sick pupa, it protects the colony and helps ensure its long-term survival. Researchers found that only pupae too sick to recover send this scent, showing just how finely tuned the colony’s early-warning system is.

Wild Life

A rare bright spot for whales: Decades of conservation pay off for endangered population in Canada

- Northern bottlenose whale populations have struggled to rebound, even though commercial whaling was outlawed in their habitats more than 50 years ago.
- Long-term monitoring shows that one population of the species has begun to recover since their year-round habitat, a submarine canyon off Canada’s east coast known as the Gully, became a Marine Protected Area in 2004.
- The Gully MPA provides a rare marine conservation success story, but protection for marine mammals that migrate is more complex.

Wildfire burns climate-vulnerable Joshua trees in US national park

A wildfire in California’s Joshua Tree National Park burned through some 29 hectares (72 acres) of land during the recent federal government shutdown in October and November. That’s a small fire by California standards, but firefighters estimate it scorched roughly 1,000 of the park’s iconic Joshua trees, according to The Los Angeles Times. The burned […]

Decades-old palm trees in Rio de Janeiro flower for the first — and only — time

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Towering talipot palms in a Rio de Janeiro park are flowering for the first and only time in their lives, decades after famed Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx introduced them in the 1960s. Towards the end of its life — which can span between 40 and 80 years — the palm tree sends up a […]

Philippine mangroves survived a typhoon, but now confront a human-made challenge

- A new study shows mangroves in Tacloban, the Philippine city hit hardest hit by Typhoon Haiyan in December 2013, have expanded beyond pre-storm levels.
- This recovery was driven by community-led reforestation efforts from 2015-2018, when residents planted 30,000 Rhizophora mangrove seedlings across 4 hectares (10 acres) of Cancabato Bay.
- Satellite image analysis and modeling reveal how the forest was destroyed by Haiyan and how it later withstood 2019’s Typhoon Phanfone.
- However, experts warn that the recovering mangroves may be threatened by an ongoing project to build a causeway across the bay, which could generate pollution and physical disturbances.

Scientists push for greater climate role for Latin America’s overlooked ecosystems

- Tropical forests are rightly regarded as important carbon sinks and crucial in the fight against climate change, but other tropical ecosystems have largely gone overlooked despite their carbon -sequestration potential.
- Peatlands, mangroves, coastal freshwater wetlands and seagrass meadows are just some of the ecosystems that have a potentially huge capacity to capture and store carbon, but don’t feature prominently enough — or at all — in the national climate plans of Latin American countries.
- Peatland soils can store between three and five times more carbon dioxide than other tropical ecosystems, with similar figures for mangroves and coastal freshwater wetlands.
- Seagrass meadows cover just 0.1% of the ocean floor, but can store up to 18% of global oceanic carbon.

What was — and the uncertainty of what will be: Youth voices from COP30

- COP30 in Brazil drew youths from around the world who are experiencing climate change effects in different ways and working to mitigate the crisis in their communities.
- Mongabay spoke with young representatives from Gabon, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Germany and Brazil during the November conference in Belém.
- The youths found mixed results at COP30, with some progress made on the technical side, especially in transparency, adaptation metrics and certain aspects of loss and damage; while issues like phasing out fossil fuels, securing predictable climate finance and ensuring a just transition faced significant pushback.
- German Felix Finkbeiner, who, at 9 years old, created the organization Plant-for-the-Planet, noted, “When young voices come together at conferences like COP30, they inspire hope, innovation, and accountability, reminding the world that change is not only necessary but possible.”
