Countries like Iceland (nearly 100%) and Norway (>70%) lead in renewable energy thanks to abundant hydropower and geothermal resources. Globally, renewables account for about 18% of final energy consumption. Solar and wind are growing fastest, but fossil fuels still dominate. The energy transition is critical for meeting climate targets.
