Net Zero 2050: More affordable than ever, if we act now
Our research suggests the window to achieve a 1.5°C outcome, consistent with ‘net zero’ emissions by 2050, is closing fast. But it also highlights the surprisingly positive reductions in the cost to achieve such an outcome.
The world, policymakers and investors need to embrace every legitimate tool in the decarbonisation toolkit.
The world’s energy and land systems underpin every economic activity we
engage in, and every aspect of our day-to-day lives. The next quarter century is
highly likely to see a dramatic re-engineering of these two interconnected
systems. In our view this rebuilding is going to have far-reaching implications for
investors, regardless of which climate outcome the world heads towards. It is
likely to affect every company and country to whom investors provide their
capital.
