Abstract

In 2017, global investment in renewables and energy efficiency declined by 3% and there is a risk that it will slow further; clearly fossil fuels still dominate

Keywords: Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency, Green Investment, Energy Sector, Fossil Fuels, Infrastructure / Energy

Complexity vs Empirical Score

• Math Complexity: 1.0/10
• Empirical Rigor: 2.0/10
• Quadrant: Philosophers
• Why: The paper relies on qualitative analysis, descriptive statistics, and policy discourse rather than advanced mathematics or rigorous backtesting. It discusses macroeconomic trends and policy recommendations without complex empirical modeling or implementation-heavy data analysis.
