去年全球可再生能源产能投资再创历史新高

　　据Gulf News网站3月27日柏林报道，一份得到联合国支持的报告说，尽管石油、天然气和煤炭的价格不断下跌，然而，去年全球可再生能源产能的投资再创历史新高。

　　联合国环境规划署（UNEP）在第10版年度报告“2016年全球可再生能源投资趋势”中说，去年全球可再生能源包括早期技术以及用于新产能的开支的所有投资总数达到了2860亿美元，比2011年创造的前一个最高纪录高出了大约3%。

　　报告说，与2014年106吉瓦（GW）和2013年87吉瓦相比，去年全球总共新增发电量134吉瓦。

　　报告强调说，在大幅削减成本的帮助下，绿色投资已扩大到了更多的发展中国家。UNEP的执行主任阿齐姆?斯泰纳在一份官方声明中说：“可再生能源对我们的低碳生活正在变得越来越重要，而去年创纪录的投资进一步证明了这一趋势。重要的是，发展中国家去年可再生能源投资第一次超过了发达国家。”

　　去年，发展中和新兴国家用于可再生能源的投资（1560亿美元，同比增加19%）第一次超过了发达国家（1300亿美元，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).
