Every single year in the past two decades, the energy industry has hit a new record in renewables installations. Yet every year we move further away from keeping global temperature rises within 1.5°C. The reason is clear: we need to act on a far bigger scale.

To accelerate the energy transition, we need a global scale-up. Investment in clean energy remains concentrated in wealthy countries, with much of the rest of the world left behind. Redressing the balance by unlocking the deployment of renewables in the Global South is essential if we are to decarbonize the world’s energy systems and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. The Global South, home to two-thirds of the world's population, remains dramatically underserved, today receiving only 15% of clean energy investment.

“Leveling up the transition will bring energy to millions of people, while securing a low-carbon future”. That's the core message of Bureau Veritas' newly released 2025 Global Energy Transition Report, the third annual edition of the company's comprehensive analysis of the shift towards a net-zero future.

From March to May 2025, Bureau Veritas collected insights and opinions from over 1,100 market experts and industry leaders from all continents and corners of the energy sector. By highlighting pragmatic solutions and best practices from around the world, the report aims to show what can be achieved - and how these successes could be replicated to meet the world's growing energy needs in a sustainable manner.
