This Tuesday, 18, May the International Energy Agency will release one of the most important reports in its almost 50-year history: Net Zero by 2050: A roadmap for the global energy system. This special report will map out a detailed and cost-effective pathway for bringing global energy-related emissions to net zero in time to give the world a good chance of limiting global warming to 1.5˚ C.
The Roadmap underscores that this decade is pivotal to reaching net zero by mid-century. We need to put emissions into sharp decline in the coming years through strong and credible energy policies.
“It will set clear milestones for what needs to happen, and when, to transform the global economy from an economy dominated by fossil fuels to one overwhelmingly powered by renewable energies such as solar and wind. It will show how this can be done successfully – creating huge new opportunities for workers, companies and investors – safely – without interrupting the energy supply that so many of us depend on for our daily lives – and fairly – ensuring that developing economies have the finance and technologies they need to make their transition, bringing clean and affordable energy to all citizens”, says Fatih Birol, Executive Director at International Energy Agency (IEA), in a LinkedIn post.
