據Gulf News網站3月27日柏林報道，一份得到聯合國支持的報告說，盡管石油、天然氣和煤炭的價格不斷下跌，然而，去年全球可再生能源產能的投資再創歷史新高。

　　聯合國環境規劃署（UNEP）在第10版年度報告“2016年全球可再生能源投資趨勢”中說，去年全球可再生能源包括早期技術以及用于新產能的開支的所有投資總數達到了2860億美元，比2011年創造的前一個最高紀錄高出了大約3%。

　　報告說，與2014年106吉瓦（GW）和2013年87吉瓦相比，去年全球總共新增發電量134吉瓦。

　　報告強調說，在大幅削減成本的幫助下，綠色投資已擴大到了更多的發展中國家。UNEP的執行主任阿齊姆?斯泰納在一份官方聲明中說：“可再生能源對我們的低碳生活正在變得越來越重要，而去年創紀錄的投資進一步證明了這一趨勢。重要的是，發展中國家去年可再生能源投資第一次超過了發達國家。”

　　去年，發展中和新興國家用于可再生能源的投資（1560億美元，同比增加19%）第一次超過了發達國家（1300億美元，同比下降8%）。

NEW WORLD RECORD SET IN RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTMENTS

Gulf News

March 27, 2016

Berlin: Global investment in renewable energy capacity hit a new record in 2015 despite falling oil, gas and coal prices, says a UN-backed report.

All investments in renewables, including early-stage technology and R&D as well as spending on new capacity, totalled $286 billion in 2015, some 3 per cent higher than the previous record in 2011, said the 10th edition of United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) annual report — Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2016.

A total of 134 gigawatts (GW) of renewable power was added worldwide in 2015 compared to 106GW in 2014 and 87GW in 2013, the report said.

It highlighted that the green investments has broadened out to a wider and wider array of developing countries, helped by sharply reduced costs.

“Renewables are becoming ever more central to our low-carbon lifestyles, and the record-setting investments in 2015 are further proof of this trend. Importantly, for the first time in 2015, renewables in investments were higher in developing countries than developed,” said Achim Steiner, executive director at UNEP, in an official statement.

In 2015, for the first time, investments in renewable energy in developing and emerging economy nations ($156 billion, up 19 per cent compared to 2014) surpassed those in developed countries ($130 billion, down eight per cent from 2014).
