Energy & Industry
"Triple renewables. Double efficiency. End the fossil era this decade."
Energy is 75% of emissions and the fastest to decarbonize with today's tech. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power in most markets — the bottleneck is grids, permits and finance, not physics.

Milestones we're chasing
Triple renewables
11,000 GW installed — COP28 pledge.
Double efficiency
Efficiency gains at 4% per year worldwide.
Net-zero energy system
Fossil fuels phased out; heavy industry electrified and hydrogen-fed.
Levers that move the needle
Take an action →Retire coal early
Just Energy Transition Partnerships mobilize finance for phase-out.
Modernize the grid
Storage, interconnectors and demand-response absorb variable renewables.
End fossil subsidies
$7T/year in explicit + implicit subsidies still prop up fossil fuels.
Clean industry (steel, cement, chemicals)
Green hydrogen and CCS for the hardest-to-abate sectors.
Signals of progress
- ↗Solar installs +80% YoY
- ↗Coal peaking in China
Warning lights
- ↘Gas demand still growing
- ↘Grid queues delaying 3TW of renewables
