Share of final energy use that comes from renewable sources
Renewable energy includes solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, bioenergy, and marine sources.

Energy and climate
Electricity, renewables, emissions, climate and energy prices.
Energy and climate reporting often connects several layers of evidence: generation, consumption, capacity, emissions and prices. A country can increase renewable capacity while its total energy demand also rises, so the choice of denominator and time range materially changes the story. These reviewed assets make the underlying source and unit easier to inspect.
The collection includes public datasets suitable for research and publication when their stated conditions are followed. Asset pages show whether an embed is available, how to cite the source and when the record was last checked. They also distinguish marketplace-rendered presentations from source-hosted material.

Selected energy and climate assets
Solar energy generation vs. capacity
Solar energy generation, measured in gigawatt-hours (GWh) versus installed solar capacity, measured in gigawatts (GW).
Primary energy from fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewables
Measured as a percentage of total energy supply. Renewables include hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal, bioenergy, and waste, but not traditional biomass.
The long-term energy transition in Europe
Share of energy production by traditional energy carrier, measured as the percentage of total energy production, from 1850-2000. "Muscle energy corresponds to the input of food by men and working animals; firewood to the actual consumption; wind and water have been estimated from the power of water and wind engines – sailing ships included – and the time, per year, these engines were in use”.
Long-term energy transitions
Share of primary energy by source over the long-term, measured as the percentage of total energy consumption. Primary electricity includes: hydropower, nuclear power, wind, photovoltaics, tidal, wave and solar thermal and geothermal (only figures for electricity production are included).
Energy efficiency of meat and dairy production
The energy efficiency of meat and dairy production is defined as the percentage of energy (caloric) inputs as feed effectively converted to animal product. An efficiency of 25% would mean 25% of calories in animal feed inputs were effectively converted to animal product; the remaining 75% would be lost during conversion.
Persons heating their dwelling with other than district heating by used energy source and sex, age, level of disability (activity limitation)
Eurostat dataset ilc_lvhe06; Persons heating their dwelling with other than district heating by used energy source and sex, age, level of disability (activity limitation); updated 2026-04-24T23:00:00+0200.
Persons living in dwellings with energy efficiency improvements in last five years by sex, age and level of disability (activity limitation)
Eurostat dataset ilc_lvhe10; Persons living in dwellings with energy efficiency improvements in last five years by sex, age and level of disability (activity limitation); updated 2026-06-17T23:00:00+0200.
Persons heating their dwelling with other than district heating by used energy source and sex, age, risk of poverty or social exclusion situation
Eurostat dataset ilc_lvhe07; Persons heating their dwelling with other than district heating by used energy source and sex, age, risk of poverty or social exclusion situation; updated 2026-04-24T23:00:00+0200.
Renewable electricity-generating capacity per person
The installed capacity of power plants that generate electricity from renewable energy sources. This includes hydropower, marine (ocean, tidal and wave), wind, solar (photovoltaic and thermal energy), bioenergy, and geothermal energy.
Share of the population undernourished vs. share of children who are stunted
Childhood stunting is the share of children younger than five years that are stunted, which means they are two standard deviations below the median height-for-age of the WHO's Child Growth Standards. Undernourishment is when a person's daily food intake does not provide enough energy to maintain a normal, active, and healthy life.
Share of people who support policies to tackle climate change
Support was measured on a scale from 0 to 100 across nine interventions, including carbon taxes on fossil fuels, expanding public transport, more renewable energy, more electric car chargers, taxes on airlines, investments in green jobs and businesses, laws to keep waterways clean, protecting forests, and increasing taxes on carbon-intensive foods.
