In 2024 renewable energy employed more than 16.6 million people around the globe. Since 2012, employment has grown from 7.3 million. Some figures only refer to direct employment, e.g. hydropower. Direct employment refers to jobs generated by core activities in renewable energy deployment. Indirect employment includes employment in the upstream industries that supply and support the core activities. This means intermediate inputs along the value chain of each renewable energy, e.g. the production of steel or other materials, financial and other services.
