The @IEA pathway leads to a global energy system in 2050 dominated by clean energy:
Solar is the single largest source of global energy
Renewables provide almost 90% of electricity
One-fifth of that electricity is used to produce hydrogen

Our net zero pathway sees a historic surge in clean energy investment to $4 trillion in 2030. This creates millions of jobs & helps lift global economic growth by 0.4 percentage points a year in the 2020s. The pathway has no need for investment in new fossil fuel supply projectspic.twitter.com/MFAyUIrUBa

Net zero by 2050 requires massive deployment of available clean & efficient energy technologies this decade. By 2030, annual additions of solar & wind have to reach 4 times last year's record. Energy efficiency improvements need to triple the average rate of the last 2 decades.pic.twitter.com/EWXmFG385Q

Most of the reductions in CO2 emissions through 2030 come from technologies already on the market. But in 2050, almost half come from technologies that, while known, are still in development now. Big leaps in innovation are needed by 2030 to get these technologies ready in time.pic.twitter.com/wUtkKPKye4

The transition to net zero by 2050 is for & about people. It must be fair & inclusive. In our pathway, 14 million jobs are created by 2030 in clean energy supply. But careful policy attention is needed to minimise hardships for workers in fossil fuel sectors where jobs are lost.pic.twitter.com/zBijatNEwX

Energy security evolves in the transition to net zero:
As oil demand declines, supply becomes more concentrated among a small number of producers
Risks around critical mineral supplies require attention
Electricity systems need to become more flexible & cyber resilientpic.twitter.com/LdcrqL1Cvj

Moving the world towards net zero by 2050 requires strong policy actions from governments – working together to tackle challenges that span regions. In the absence of greater international cooperation, it will take several decades longer to reach net-zero emissions globally.pic.twitter.com/mX0FCzASKU

2050 is way too late though

Why do you think that? Most IPCC 1.5 scenarios seem much less ambitious.https://twitter.com/DrSimEvans/status/1393153921070379009?s=19 …
