This report is part of Net Zero Emissions. The number of countries announcing pledges to achieve net zero emissions over the coming decades continues to grow. But the pledges by governments to date β even if fully achieved β fall well short of what is required to bring global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions to net zero by and give the world an even chance of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.
It sets out a cost-effective and economically productive pathway, resulting in a clean, dynamic and resilient energy economy dominated by renewables like solar and wind instead of fossil fuels. The report also examines key uncertainties, such as the roles of bioenergy, carbon capture and behavioural changes in reaching net zero.
The energy sector is the source of around three-quarters of greenhouse gas emissions today and holds the key to averting the worst effects of climate change, perhaps the greatest challenge humankind has faced.
Reducing global carbon dioxide CO 2 emissions to net zero by is consistent with efforts to limit the long-term increase in average global temperatures to 1. This calls for nothing less than a complete transformation of how we produce, transport and consume energy. The growing political consensus on reaching net zero is cause for considerable optimism about the progress the world can make, but the changes required to reach net zero emissions globally by are poorly understood.
This special IEA report sets out a pathway for achieving this goal, resulting in a clean and resilient energy system that would bring major benefits for human prosperity and well-being. The global pathway to net zero emissions by detailed in this report requires all governments to significantly strengthen and then successfully implement their energy and climate policies. Commitments made to date fall far short of what is required by that pathway.
