We just released our updated #NetZeroRoadmap! 🚨

It shows the path to limiting global warming to 1.5 °C has narrowed. But record clean energy growth is keeping it open.

[Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) @mnreindia]

In the G20 New Delhi Declaration 2023, G20 members agreed to pursue and encourage efforts to triple renewable energy capacity globally through existing targets and policies, as well as demonstrate similar ambition with respect to other zero and low-emission technologies,

So "Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2022" is out today!

This is one of @IRENA s most anticipated reports and is packed full of data.

What are my four quick key takeaways?

Can you guess?

Renewables are already the cheapest form of electricity in history.

By 2030, they will roughly halve in price again.

A major shift is taking place in global energy

5 years ago, for $1 invested in fossil fuels, the same went to clean energy. But since then, a big gap has opened up.

This year, for $1 invested in fossil fuels, $1.70 is going to clean energy ➡️ https://t.co/rVJUZP9xC3

Revenues from carbon taxes and Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) have reached a record high, about $95 billion, finds the World Bank’s annual “State and Trends of Carbon Pricing” report https://t.co/sXtoMmZ5C6 #PriceOnCarbon via @WBG_Climate

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

Electric cars are booming – global sales are on course to jump 35% this year

In 2019, only 2.5% of cars sold worldwide were electric

In 2023, they're set to reach 18%

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

OUT NOW: #IPCC's Synthesis Report

With further warming, climate risks will become increasingly complex & more challenging to manage.

To keep warming to 1.5°C requires deep, rapid & sustained #greenhousegasemissions reductions in all sectors.

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

PRESS RELEASE

There are multiple, feasible and effective options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions & adapt to human-caused #climatechange available now, said scientists in the latest #IPCC #ClimateReport released today.

[U.S. Department of Energy @ENERGY]

⚡NEW: 41% of US electricity came from carbon-free sources in 2022! Renewable energy is now cheaper than other power sources and EV purchases comprised 7% of all new cars sold last year. Let's keep the clean energy momentum going! 💪

The electricity system is undergoing a profound transformation.

What we are seeing is a much more consumer-centric model emerging with much more diversity in terms of generation and consumption.

A short 🧵

[Siddharth Singh @siddharth3]

How much cleaner are the clean energy technologies such as renewables, electric cars, heat pumps, and hydrogen compared to the dominant technologies?

Significantly. Here’s a neat summary graph from @IEA’s Energy Technology Perspectives 2023.

@KlimaDAO @UNDP UN ESCWA is drafting a report on the use of blockchain in the Arab sustainable energy transition. We'd like to include KlimaDAO as a case study so if you're interested send me a DM.

New report🚨: Energy Transition Investment Trends 2023 is out!

If you thought the energy crisis would slow the transition, we've got news for you: energy transition investment exceeded $1 trillion for the first time in 2022, as global spending on clean-energy tech grew 31% YoY.

[Sean Ratka @sratka]

By 2025, renewables become the largest source of electricity generation globally, driven largely by #solar.

Two months ago, the #CoreDevs behind #TheMerge eliminated 99.992% of Ethereum's carbon footprint.

Today, @COP27P, ConsenSys and partners from across Web3 are launching the Ethereum Climate Platform (ECP) to build on their achievement.

What does this mean? 🧵👇

[COP27 @COP27P]

3 days to go until the world meets in Sharm El Sheikh for #COP27. The present and future of our planet is at stake, and transformative action can not be delayed. #TogetherForImplementation #ActNow

[Jan Rosenow @janrosenow]

The @IEA World Energy Outlook 2022 is out.

A major focus of the report is on how to meet the climate goals.

Great visualisation of the pathway to net zero.
