"Spain, although not an individual member, is associated with the G-20 through its membership in the European Union. In view of its significant clean energy investments—$10.4 billion in 2009—it is profiled for its leadership, and earned a ranking of fifth among G-20 members for overall investment. Spain’s 2009 investment was down more than 50 percent from 2008 due to the global financial crisis and Spain’s budget difficulties." (Quoted from paper)
