Overview

The Global Energy Transition Tracker (GETT) showcases iconic wins in the global energy transition and maps strategic paths toward a renewable-powered future.

In our collective effort to combat the climate crisis through renewable energy, a robust data center is critical to monitor the progress of the energy transition.

The Global Energy Transition Tracker is an open database and platform providing vital energy data for different zones around the world. It monitors the phaseout of fossil fuels and the progress of renewable energy development, while also identifying policies, financial resources, infrastructure, and social and environmental aspects that either facilitate or obstruct the transition.

The tracker lists zones with potential for scaling up renewable energy. It collects data and information to help stakeholders drive real change in the energy transition at various levels, including cross-national, national, or sub-national.

These "iconic zones" represent more than just high-gigawatt potential; they are strategic intersections where clean energy deployment meets climate justice. They serve as real-world alternatives to fossil fuel expansion, demonstrating how renewable energy can support local economies and ecosystems.

By focusing on these high-leverage areas, the tracker identifies where success can shift entire systems, inspire regional replication, and catalyze the global momentum required to meet climate goals. Whether identifying bottlenecks or celebrating milestones, the Global Energy Transition Tracker is the essential tool for navigating the path to a fossil-free world.
