“Global investment in renewable energy in 2024 totaled about 2 trillion US dollars.”
The $2 trillion figure refers to broad clean-energy or energy-transition investment, not renewable energy alone. Reliable 2024 breakdowns put total clean-energy investment near $1.9 trillion to $2.1 trillion, while renewables-only investment was far lower, with BloombergNEF estimating about $728 billion. The claim swaps a broad category for a narrower one and is therefore not supported by the evidence.
“By 2030, the transition toward renewable energy will establish a robust non-oil economic baseline in the United Arab Emirates, defined as non-oil gross domestic product exceeding 70% of the United Arab Emirates' total gross domestic product.”
The UAE is likely to have non-oil GDP above 70% by 2030, and available evidence indicates that threshold was already surpassed years earlier. What is not supported is the claim that the renewable-energy transition will be the factor that establishes that baseline. The data point to a broader diversification story led by services, trade, tourism, logistics, finance, and industry.
