As highlighted by scientific bodies such as IPCC, the world needs to drastically reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in order to limit climate change and the risks to the planet and livelihoods. In that regard, the energy sector plays a key role because over 70% of manmade GHG emissions come from the use of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. While renewable fuels are now globally among the most competitive sources of new energy, the rate of decarbonization of the energy system rests on policy decisions that vary widely among countries.
Join us next week at ALECA Talks (Accelerating the energy transition: The role of policy and politics, Thursday, 26th, 2 - 3 pm KL time) as Professor Renato Lima de Oliveira will address the political economy of the energy transition, highlighting key barriers and emerging opportunities.
