Existing fossil fuel projects are sufficient to meet projected energy demands in a global transition to net zero emissions, finds a new study by researchers from UCL and IISD.
A study by researchers from UCL and the International Institute for Sustainable Development has found existing fossil fuel projects are sufficient to meet anticipated energy demands in a global transition to net zero emissions.
Energy groups did not need to develop any new oil, gas and coal projects to meet future demand, an academic paper says, at a time when rhetoric over the role of fossil fuel companies in addressing climate change is escalating.
No further new fossil fuel projects are needed to sustain future global energy demand, with increasing levels of clean energy coming online worldwide expected to be more than enough to pick up the slack, according to major new research today.
The world has enough fossil fuel projects planned to meet global energy demand forecasts to 2050 and governments should stop issuing new oil, gas and coal licences, according to a large study aimed at political leaders.
IISD invited a small group of researchers, advocates and practitioners in Istanbul, Türkiye to discuss and explore the concept of intersectionality and its application in climate change adaptation policy-making.
Countries should rely on domestic laws and wider regional policy frameworks to attract foreign investment for sustainable economic activities, concludes a report by Canadian think-tank the International Institute for Sustainable Development.
