A Road Map For a Sustainable Clean Energy Transition by The Conference Board

Climate change is a defining and urgent 21st century global challenge which threatens global security, economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, and public health. In an effort to address this challenge and prevent these major disruptions, 196 nations have agreed to limit the rise in the average global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to achieve “net zero” greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century. Key to achieving these goals is a sustainable energy transition strategy that sets out a realistic pathway for net-zero emissions by 2050.
