Reuters discusses why a huge acceleration of clean energy innovation is needed to meet net zero target, per the IEA.
A global goal to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 will not be met without a huge acceleration in clean energy innovation, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Thursday.
The 2015 Paris Agreement set a target to curb global warming and reach net zero emissions in the second half of the century.
In a special report, the IEA analysed more than 400 clean energy technologies and said that although renewable technologies in use now can deliver a large amount of emissions reductions, they are not enough on their own.
