Fostering Effective Energy Transition 2019
The report benchmarks countries on energy performance and readiness, emphasizing the need to accelerate the transition across economic, security, and sustainability dimensions.
The global energy transition is evolving as countries navigate health, geopolitical, and economic crises. The rising urgency of delivering on an equitable, sustainable, and secure energy transition, and reaching net zero emissions by 2050, requires simultaneous progress on multiple fronts.
Considering the changing needs of the energy frontier, a comprehensive understanding of the challenge, a robust fact-base, and multi-stakeholder collaboration are essential for informed and effective decision-making. The Energy and Industry Transition Intelligence program equips policymakers, corporate leaders, and civil society with crucial data and insights, and raises awareness around the gaps and opportunities in transitioning energy and industrial systems.
There are three key activities in the program:
The report benchmarks countries on energy performance and readiness, emphasizing the need to accelerate the transition across economic, security, and sustainability dimensions.
