In an era of rapid technological advancement and heightened environmental concerns, renewable energy law and international cooperation are more important than ever. The global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is more than a change in resource use; it represents a fundamental rethinking of how countries approach energy security, economic stability, and environmental sustainability.
Historically, energy policy has been driven by national interests focused on maintaining control over natural resources. However, the accelerating impacts of climate change are pushing countries toward a more cooperative approach and necessitating a shift in the global energy framework.Â
Solar energy boasts the fastest-growing electricity source in the world’s history, providing around ten times more electricity now than in 2015, when it provided just 1% of global generation. In 2024, solar made up 6.9% of global generation, rising further to 8.8% in the first half of 2025 and in many countries, its share of the electricity mix is considerably higher.
