We are in the midst of COP-27 and environmental issues are among the most prominent these days. Not all the news has been encouraging, but some does give way to optimism, such as the growth of renewable energies. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that renewable electricity generation capacity will grow by 8% this year, after growing 6% in 2021.

China. With 930 GW of installed renewable energy by 2020, it ranks first, almost tripling the capacity of the United States, which ranks second with 315 GW, according to data from IRENA, the international renewable energy agency. Brazil, with 150 GW installed, ranks third and is the only Latin American country in the top ten.
