Global Risks 2022: The 'disorderly' net-zero transition is here and it’s time to embrace it

Net-zero transition: Two hikers stand at the top of one of the 11/19 pit and twin slag heaps at the former coal mine site in Loos-en-Gohelle, northern France, October 31, 2015. Loos-en-Gohelle, a town of 7000 inhabitants in the North of France, marked by the closure of coal mines in 1970, has demonstrated a successful transition from coal to a green economy. The city has joined the network of French positive energy territories, with almost 350 direct and indirect jobs created around the eco-activities and renewable energy in 10 years. On December 3, 2015, the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region will propose a visit of Loos-en-Gohelle as a symbol of a 'sustainable energy city'. This event will be part of the COP21, the World Climate Summit hosted by Paris from November 30 to December 11, 2015. Picture taken October 31, 2015. REUTERS/Pascal Rossignol
