Human emissions of greenhouse gases are the primary driver ofclimate changetoday.1
CO2and other greenhouse gases like methane and nitrous oxide are emitted when weburn fossil fuels, produce materials such as steel, cement, and plastics, andgrow the food we eat. If we want to reduce these emissions, we need to transform our energy systems, industries, and food systems.
At the same time, we need to tackleenergy poverty,low standards of living, andpoor nutrition, which all remain enormous problems for billions of people.
Technological advances could allow us to do both. Theprices of solar, wind, andbatterieshave plummeted in recent decades, increasingly undercutting the cost of fossil fuel alternatives. Further progress could allow us to provide cheap, clean energy for everyone. Political change is essential to create a system that supports rapid decarbonization.
Emissions are still rising in many parts of the world. However, several countries have managed tocut their emissionsin recent decades. With affordable low-carbon technologies, other countries can increase their living standards without the high-carbon pathway that rich countries followed in the past.
