A global target to double efficiency progress is essential to keep net zero on the table

The updated Net Zero Roadmap from the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that while the path to limiting global warming to 1.5 °C has narrowed, it is still achievable – if governments build on strong growth in clean energy technologies such as solar PV and electric vehicles with even greater ambition. However, the next few years are critical. Without decisive action this decade, the window will close, and the world will be locked into even more dangerous impacts from climate change.
