The path to limiting global warming to 1.5°C has narrowed, but the growth of clean energy leaves it open

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the global power sector to net zero and limiting global warming to 1.5°C remains possible thanks to record growth in key clean energy technologies, although the pace needs to be accelerated rapidly in many areas, says the new IEA Roadmap Net Zero Roadmap New road map   sets out a global pathway to keep the 1.5°C target within reach and provides a comprehensive update to the landmark original report, which was published in 2021 and served as a baseline for policymakers, industry, the financial sector and civil society. The 2023 update takes into account significant changes in the energy landscape over the past two years, including the post-pandemic economic recovery and the extraordinary growth of some clean energy technologies – but also increased investment in fossil fuels and stubbornly high emissions.
