New York: Global renewable power capacity grew by record levels last year, a report showed Monday, hailed as a sign by the UN climate chief that the "brute power of market forces" is making the transition to clean energy irreversible.
The report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) was published as world leaders gather for the United Nations General Assembly following a record-hot northern hemisphere summer underscoring the worsening impacts of human-caused climate change.
