Alternative and nuclear energy (% of total energy use)

This indicator reflects the proportion of total energy consumption derived from non-traditional sources that minimize carbon emissions during generation. It encompasses various forms of energy, including hydropower, nuclear, geothermal, wind, and solar power, highlighting the shift towards sustainable energy solutions. By tracking this percentage, we can assess the effectiveness of policies aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuels while promoting cleaner alternatives. The growth of alternative energy sources not only contributes to lowering greenhouse gas emissions but also enhances energy security and diversification. Monitoring this indicator is crucial for understanding progress towards global climate commitments and ensuring a sustainable energy future. Source:
