PARIS (AN) — Global investment in renewables and energy efficiency declined 3% to US$318 billion in 2017 and "there is a risk that it will slow further this year," posing a threat to the world's fight against climate change and air pollution, the International Energy Agency reported.
Investment in renewable power, accounting for two-thirds of power generation spending, dropped 7% last year, the Paris-based international organization said in its World Energy Investment 2018 report.
