Strengthened but uneven policy frameworks: Policy measures such as carbon pricing, green industrial strategies and clean energy incentives are increasingly evident across the G20, but significant disparities in ambition, coverage and implementation continue to impact the pace of decarbonization. Growing renewable energy investment with regional imbalances: Investment in renewable energy infrastructure and innovation is rising steadily, supported by favorable financing mechanisms and corporate net-zero commitments. Yet, flows are disproportionately concentrated in advanced economies, leaving emerging G20 members trailing. Heightened focus on energy security and supply diversification: In response to global market disruptions, G20 countries are prioritizing energy resilience through supply diversification and strategic reserves. While enhancing short-term security, this shift has, in some cases, delayed structural clean energy reforms.Overall narrative System performance Transition readiness System performance Transition readiness Country group Global average0 20 40 60 80 100Equity Sustainability Security20 40 60 80 100Regulations and political commitment Finance and investment Education and human capitalInfrastructure Innovation0Key energy indicators Average share of clean energy (%) 12.6%Average net energy imports (% of energy use) –1.9% 3.4 Average energy intensity (MJ/$2017 PPP GDP) 52.6 Average CO2 intensity (CO2/TES) Note: MJ = megajoule; PPP = purchasing power parity; TES = total energy supply.
