This p resentation will share new research that has uncovered reasons for these u nprecedented fast rates of improvement\, and has probed the prospects for  renewable energy to produce a significant share of global electricity. Thi s is a critical time in the development trajectories of clean energy techn ologies\, and in global efforts to mitigate climate change. As the data su ggest\, a technology transition may be within reach.
