Global Status Report 2025

REN21 is the only global multi-stakeholder network focused on driving the transition to a renewables-based economy. For over 20 years, we’ve delivered trusted data, strategic insight, and an impartial platform for debate and collaboration.

Respected for our credibility and convening power, REN21 brings together governments, industry, civil society and academia to bridge silos, spark dialogue and drive informed decisions. We prioritise inclusion – especially of those too often excluded from decision making, including non-traditional actors and those from developing and emerging markets.

With fossil fuel dependence still deeply entrenched and progress too slow and fragmented, REN21 is evolving its approach to tackle the systemic barriers stalling the transition. By leveraging our unique network and launching targeted Change Programmes, we aim to drive the deep structural shifts needed for the energy transition – a shift that underpins resilient, secure and equitable societies, and is essential to realise a world that runs on renewables.
