Energy Transitions Commission: Immediate action is needed to halve carbon emissions by 2040

Energy Transitions Commission: Immediate action is needed to halve carbon emissions by 2040

April 25, 2017

Today, the Energy Transitions Commission releases their extensive ‘Better Energy, Greater Prosperity’ report, concluding that it is possible to meet the Paris objective of limiting global warming to well below 2°C. To succeed, it is key to accelerate electrification coupled with the decarbonisation of power generation via stronger public policies and investments.

Copenhagen Economics has contributed to the report with analyses on the impacts on fossil fueluse and their markets, the role of carbon capture and sequestration, and the potential impact of four transition strategies in terms of carbon dioxide emissions.
