This is how public buildings can serve this crisis and be ready for the next one
For many people, sheltering at home is unsustainable or impossible - and public buildings need to be adapted for remaining and returning communities.
Achieving net zero carbon targets will require clean electrification of energy uses, especially for buildings, transport and industry. In addition, to meet these targets electrification needs access to renewable energy sources at scale combined with the availability of grid infrastructure to connect them. The Global Future Council on Clean Electrification will bring together subject matter experts from industry, academia and civil society to amplify the value and role of clean electrification in the energy transition.

The electrification of road transport could place new stresses and strains on our power networks. We have modelled various scenarios; here are the results.
Demand for air-conditioning is rising, but meeting the concomitant rise in electricity requirements sustainably will be a challenge. Here's how to do it.
