Investors have spent more than $2 trillion on clean-energy plants in the past decade and last year added more renewable capacity than ever before.

The $270 billion spent in 2014 on renewable technologies such as wind and solar reversed a two-year dip in investments and brought in a record 103 gigawatts of clean-energy power generation, according to a report released Tuesday by the United Nations Environment Program, the Frankfurt School and Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
