From ambition to action

The global energy transition is in full swing. But we must not think the work is over. On the contrary. Now is the time to work harder to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fully realize the goals of a net-zero world. Further industry, transport, and infrastructure decarbonization is needed, and energy must be produced more sustainably.
