Making mission possible: Delivering a net-zero economy

A net-zero global economy is possible by 2050. Clean electrification will be vital.

Making mission possible: Delivering a net-zero economy

It is possible to go to net-zero by 2050. This report consolidates the complete vision and explores further the key next steps to get there.

A net-zero global economy is technically and economically possible by mid-century and will require a profound transformation of the global energy system.

This new report shows that clean electrification will be the primary route to decarbonization, complemented by hydrogen, sustainable biomass and fossil fuels combined with carbon capture. It urges governments, investors, corporates and civil society to work together to accelerate the deployment of zero-carbon solutions before 2030 to put mid-century targets within reach.
