The Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment
report (GTR), formerly Global Trends in Sustainable
Energy Investment, was first published by the Frankfurt
School – UNEP Collaborating Centre for Climate &
Sustainable Energy Finance in 2011. This annual report
was produced previously (starting in 2007) under UNEP’s
Sustainable Energy Finance Initiative (SEFI).
It grew out of efforts to track and publish comprehensive
information about international investments in renewable
energy according to type of economy, technology, and
investment.
The GTR is produced jointly with Bloomberg New Energy
Finance and is the sister publication to the REN21
Renewables Global Status Report (GSR). The latest edition
was released in June 2013 and is available for download
at www.fs-unep- centre.org.
