What is the current breakdown of global energy sources?
As the first graph shows, the majority of the world’s energy still comes from fossil fuels. In 2019, 84% of it.
Low-carbon energy accounted for only 16% – around 11% from renewables and just over 4% from nuclear energy.
Since three-quarters of global greenhouse gases come from energy – the burning of coal, oil and gas –
we need to rapidly transition away from them to low-carbon sources.
The second graph shows the rapid increase of our total energy consumption, especially the growth of the fossil fuels industry since the 1950s. Total energy consumption is closely correlated with global economic growth and the world has powered its development using fossil fuels. The developing world must now be afforded the opportunity for economic growth without extending our climate crisis.
Fortunately renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, have become economically competitive with fossil fuels, allowing developing countries to lead frog old technology.
The third graph shows the current energy mix, clearly highlighting the predominance of fossil fuels.

Bronze Award -Individual Impact
The Y-CAN Bronze Award recognises you as a Climate Ambassador
Individuals engage in initial training and education about the climate situation from peers, teachers and research material
How can you take your ideas forward for a bigger impact?
Example of Y-CAN Award Report
Section 1- State your award level, student name, sponsor name etc. Project title with your rationale/ abstract
Section 2 – Project Planning
Evidence the education material you have engaged with; the mentor and partner conversations you have had around ideas you have brain-stormed and describe what you learnt and how this shaped your project. Set out the action steps of your project.
Section 3 – Provide a summary of each of the action steps of your project.
Section 4 – Describe your findings, both from what you have learnt and what impact you have had. Depending on your project, this section will be for reflection, what went well, what needed to be revised or rethought. If appropriate, provide a summary of your findings in a scientific report format. You can be creative, use a power-point presentation, videos, short-films, poster etc.
Section 5 – Describe how you could take your ideas further. What changes, improvements would you make to create a larger impact?
