Full Decarbonization Need Not Cost More Than Polluting Alternatives

"What is the key requirement for better policies and planning to full decarbonization?" The report builds numerous scenarios to explore the many paths through which decarbonization could potentially be achieved for transport and power, which together account for the majority of emissions. It also examines the cost implications of low-carbon pathways compared with “business-as-usual” ones. This policy note highlights the key findings on climate policy.
