This 18 per cent year-on-year rise is attributed to the strong growth of renewables generating capacities and continued expansion of equipment manufacturing.
However, the report shows an uneven global picture, with China leading with an estimated 7.4 million renewable energy jobs, or 46 per cent of the global total.
