6. What needs to happen? All countries need to reduce GHGs to zero Countries have different starting points - with industralised countries needing to decarbonise faster Different sectors decarbonise at different speeds power sector faster Mature technologies, economic feasibility and has shown most progress Needed to decarbonise other, including hard-to-abate sectors Significant progress needs to be made by 2030 global annual emissions halved Huge transformation challenge that is only sustainable if based on just transition principles 8/28/2024 6
