Net Zero Roadmap: A Global Pathway to Keep the 1.5 °C Goal in Reach
2023 Update In May 2021, the IEA published its landmark report Net Zero Emissions by 2050: A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector. The report set out a narrow but feasible pathway for the global energy sector to contribute to the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. The Net Zero Roadmap quickly became an important benchmark for policy makers, industry, the financial sector and civil society.Since the report was released, many changes have taken place, notably amid the global energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion…

Project Transitions : The Investment Challenge for Creating a Sustainable and Secure Energy Infrastructure
The Investment Challenge for Creating a Sustainable and Secure Energy Infrastructure Project Transitions Investment in the energy system of tomorrow requires substantial resources and informed policy making to achieve economic, environmental, and energy security objectives. The IEA estimates USD 26 trillion in investments will be needed in the energy sector by 2030 to sustain current energy trends. Energy business-as-usual, however, and the resulting environmental impacts, are not sustainable as they result in energy insecurity and climate damages.
