Global investment in renewable energy reached record levels in 2015, according to a new report from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF).

Carbon Brief runs through the key findings in seven charts.

).
The declining energy market share of fossil fuels is the most important,
and deliberately unreported, reason that the price of crude oil remains low.
