Inspiring Positive Change by Connecting Passion & Creating Exponentially, Global Sustainability & Innovation Leader/ ABB

🌱The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new. Socrates Is a net-zero future still possible? This question I am often asked. I respond ‚yes, provided we focus all our energy on building it’. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. One of the most significant changes in recent years has been a transformation known as the ‚energy transition‘ - a shift from fossil fuel-based energy production and consumption to renewable energy sources like solar power. This shift is essential for mitigating the impacts of climate change and offers economic and social opportunities. 🌱The cost of renewable energy has dropped over the past decade (see International Energy Agency (IEA) making them a more viable option than fossil fuels. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the energy transition provides for economic growth & resilience, job creation, innovation, health and environmental benefits, reduced energy poverty, social equity, and energy independence. Innovation in renewable energy technologies, energy storage and efficiency enable the transition. 🌱A transition to clean energy is about making an investment in our future.
