I'm not going to lie, it feels great to be back writing this newsletter. After giving birth to my daughter last Summer, most of my research and reading since has usually contained the word "baby" at least once. Although that won't change for a while, I am excited to broaden my www searches and start diving into other topics. Today, we'll delve into the EU election, global energy generation and an increase in renewables as well as an upcoming webinar. So, without further ado, love letter #78 curated by AT and written by me, Linnéa, let's dive in.

|
We're excited to continue our webinar series to help organisations stay ahead and turn the green transition into a competitive advantage. This time we'll dive into the importance of readiness across the whole organisation. Read more below.
What does it take for your business to be ready for the green economy?
For your business not only to survive, but to thrive in the green economy everyone in your organisation needs the knowledge and mandate necessary to make the changes required. Adapting to this fast moving, complex landscape will require cultural change that focuses attention, knowledge, incentives and innovation on emissions reduction.
Join the webinar to learn more about Another Tomorrow’s green transition approach, focusing in on tools and strategies for organisational readiness.

"The renewables future has arrived"
|
|
The think tank Ember recently released their fifth annual Global Electricity Review, an overview of global electricity generation in 2023 based on reported data (see our summary of last year's report here).
The report analyses electricity data from 215 countries up until 2023 which represent 92% of global electricity demand. It presents the trends underlying the changes in electricity generation, as well as the likely implications for energy sources and future emissions.
The highlights
Renewables generated 30% of global electricity in 2023, an increase compared to 22.3% in 2022, driven by solar and wind. The report describes 2023 as a turning point for electricity generation giving confidence that this year will mark the beginning of a new era pushing fossil fuels into decline.
Solar power is leading the energy revolution. For the past 19 years it's been the fastest growing source of electricity generation, surpassing wind as the largest source for new energy for the second time. Due to a record surge in installations of solar cells at the end of last year, 2024 will likely see even larger growth in solar generation.
Ember forecasts fossil generation to fall slightly in 2024, leading to larger falls in subsequent years. Power demand in 2024 is expected to be higher than the previous year but the clean electricity generation is forecast to be higher leading to a 2% fall in global fossil generation. In the past ten years, clean generation has helped to slow the growth in fossil fuels by almost two thirds.
