How do I invest in clean energy stocks?

The consumption of fossil fuels contributes to climate change. Emissions from the use of fossil fuels such as oil, coal and gas are considered the main cause of the global rise in temperatures and the resulting change in the world's climate.

A sustainable way out can be the use of renewable energies. This refers to the conversion of solar energy, hydropower, wind or tides into usable types of energy such as electricity. Experts regard this development as a megatrend. Companies that are active in this field of business can be tracked with an index and with ETFs.
