Driving Change
Why We Do It
The transformation of the global energy system needs to be substantially accelerated to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement. To limit the rise of the average global temperatures below 2°C and ideally to 1.5 °C, by the end of the century, means the amount of mitigation investment needs to double. The supply of renewable energy can increase sustainable electrification in the energy service sector. Energy efficiency can reduce more than 90% of global emissions.
In the power sector, the global energy transformation will require investments of US$22.5 trillion in new renewable technology by 2050. It would imply at least a doubling of annual investments compared to the current level of US$310 billion to more than US$660 billion.
