每年更新的新版《可再生能源全球状况报告》(GSR) 于 2019 年 6 月发布，汇集了全球以及特定地区、国家和部门采用可再生能源的最新进展和趋势。该报告提供了有关各种可再生能源及其使用的可靠和最新信息的丰富资源。该分析还包括对能源政策的审查。可再生能源政策仍然主要集中在电力行业，而对交通运输和供暖和制冷行业的关注较少。如今，大多数可再生能源投资都发生在发展中国家和新兴国家，这与几年前的情况相比发生了重大变化。 2019 年版 GSR 报告包含有关城市可再生能源的专题，强调优先考虑城市环境以实现更可持续的能源供应和消费计划的重要性。如今，全球一半以上的人口居住在城市，但约三分之二的能源消耗发生在城市环境中。 2019 年 GSR 指出，城市已经成为采用可再生能源最积极的参与者之一。一项有趣的发现是，在全球 100 多个城市中，至少 70% 的电力已经来自可再生能源。这包括发达国家和发展中国家的城市。
Published in June 2019, the new edition of the annually updated Renewables Global Status Report (GSR) compiles the most recent developments and trends in the adoption of renewable energies worldwide and in specific regions, countries and sectors. The report represents a rich resource for reliable and up-to-date information about individual renewable energy sources and their use. The analysis also covers a review of energy policies. Renewable energy policies still strongly concentrate on the power sector, while transport and heating and cooling are given less attention. Most investment in renewable energy today happens in developing and emerging countries, which is a major change to the situation some years ago. The 2019 edition of the GSR report includes a feature on renewable energy in cities, which highlights the importance of prioritising the urban context in order to achieve more sustainable schemes of energy supply and consumption. More than half of the global population today lives in cities, but around two-thirds of energy consumption happens in an urban environment. The GSR 2019 identifies that cities already are among the most active players in the adoption of renewable energies. One interesting finding is that in more than 100 cities worldwide at least 70% of the electricity already comes from renewables. This includes cities in both developed and developing countries.
