Met relatief kleine inspanningen kan de opwarming van de aarde binnen aanvaardbare grenzen worden gehouden. Dat zegt het Internationaal Energieagentschap in een speciaal klimaatrapport.
A peak in global energy-related emissions could be achieved as early as 2020 and at no net economic cost
A peak in global energy-related emissions could be achieved as early as 2020 if governments implement just five key policy measures, as shown in the IEA’s “Bridge Scenario”. This major climate milestone is possible utilising only proven technologies and policies, and without changing the economic and development prospects of any region. Intended as an effective bridge to further action, the five measures focus on:
Increasing energy efficiency in the industry, buildings and transport sectors
Reducing the use of the least-efficient coal-fired power plants and banning their construction
Increasing investment in renewable energy technologies in the power sector from $270 billion in 2014 to $400 billion in 2030
Gradual phasing out of fossil-fuel subsidies to end-users by 2030
Reducing methane emissions in oil and gas production
