Fostering Effective Energy Transition 2019
The report benchmarks countries on energy performance and readiness, emphasizing the need to accelerate the transition across economic, security, and sustainability dimensions.
The global energy transition is evolving as countries navigate health, geopolitical, and economic crises. The rising urgency of delivering on an equitable, sustainable, and secure energy transition, and reaching net zero emissions by 2050, requires simultaneous progress on multiple fronts.
Considering the changing needs of the energy frontier, a comprehensive understanding of the challenge, a robust fact-base, and multi-stakeholder collaboration are essential for informed and effective decision-making. The Energy and Industry Transition Intelligence program equips policymakers, corporate leaders, and civil society with crucial data and insights, and raises awareness around the gaps and opportunities in transitioning energy and industrial systems.
There are three key activities in the program:
The report benchmarks countries on energy performance and readiness, emphasizing the need to accelerate the transition across economic, security, and sustainability dimensions.
The report introduces the Energy Transition Index (ETI) to benchmark 114 countries on energy access, affordability, and sustainability, stressing the need for cross-sector collaboration.
Global investment in clean energy amounted to more than 333 billion dollars in 2017 and households, businesses and governments are increasingly seeking new energy solutions due to the rea...
In the next two decades, three game-changing themes have significant potential to impact the energy system: advanced energy acceleration, mobility revolution and energy system fragmentation.
More people than ever before have access to energy globally. But how can the world be prepared for a sustainable energy transition?
Climate change is occurring way faster than the efforts made by us to minimize it. So, it’s high time to start accelerating sustainable energy innovation.
China has far and away the world's largest renewable energy capacity. It has achieved this in part though state subsidies - but are these interventions starting to hinder growth? And if s...
Despite huge global investment in renewables, our reliance on fossil fuels still refuses to budge. Could hydrogen - plentiful and non-polluting - be the answer?
How do we transition from fossil fuels - and can we do it smoothly? In this week’s episode of “A Glimpse into the Future”, we discuss the future of energy.
