Step shift to a low-carbon future

SINCE the Paris Agreement was adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2015, the world has made significant strides in its commitment to climate action and renewable energy growth.

Large emitters such as the European Union, the UK and Japan have committed to ambitious net-zero emissions targets by 2050, while China is aiming for carbon neutrality by 2060.

However, despite these pledges, we still face the risk of global warming reaching between 2 and 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, leading to catastrophic consequences such as higher sea levels, the loss of biodiversity and extreme weather events.
