The global energy sector is shifting from fossil fuels to low-carbon sources to tackle the climate crisis and meet growing energy needs.  Coal, which makes up 35% of global electricity, must be reduced significantly to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The International Energy Agency calls for coal's share to drop to 14% in OECD countries by 2030, with a global phase-out by 2040.  For an in-depth look at the challenges and strategies behind the energy transition, read the full report by Richard Fechner and Dr. Tej Gidda. They outline the importance of strategic planning, repurposing coal plants and fostering regional collaboration.  Achieving success requires clear policies, robust financial incentives and strong support for low-carbon solutions. 🔗 Download here: From coal to clean: https://lnkd.in/g_Xzeu5C #COP29 #ActualisingSustainability 

COP29 was crunch time for a zero-emissions future! As global leaders gathered in Baku to define a new collective goal for climate action, the economic landscape is presenting significant challenges. Securing investment for sustainability has never been harder, but that’s exactly why we need to rethink how we approach it. The key to success requires understanding the full cost of sustainability efforts and reframing climate action as an investment opportunity rather than just a cost. In this article, Greg Carli outlines five essential questions leaders must consider when planning their sustainability strategies: https://lnkd.in/gnKqDj_K #COP29 #ActualisingSustainability
