Forecast: Share of Scientific Publications Involving International Collaboration in Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment in the US

The share of scientific publications involving international collaboration in renewable energy, sustainability, and the environment in the US is forecasted to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028. Moving from an estimated 31.43% in 2024 to 35.96% in 2028, this trend underscores a growing emphasis on cross-border research. Assuming the share in 2023 was stable or slightly lower, this upward trajectory highlights a significant shift towards more collaborative efforts. Year-on-year increments average at around 1.14 percentage points, while the compound annual growth rate over the period is reflective of consistent, albeit moderate, growth.

Future trends to watch include potential impacts of policy shifts on international collaboration, technological advancements accelerating research, and increased funding initiatives which could further boost partnerships between the US and other countries in these critical fields.
