エネルギーを輸入に頼り、送電網が孤立している日本における将来のエネルギーの安定供給には、再生可能エネルギーへの移行が不可欠です。
Japan's net zero effort, focusing on renewable energy and industrial transformation, will require the acceleration of a clear vision and strong regulations
Southeast Asia is heavily dependent on fossil fuels, but many states are committed to energy transition. The international community must support them
一刻を争う気候変動への対策は、確実な証拠に基づく必要があり、さまざまなレベルにおいて透明性を確保するための強固な基盤が求められています。透明性を確保することは、国、企業、そして投資における気候行動を促進します。COP27は、データギャップを見極める重要な契機であった以上に、セクターを超えた協力によって、将来に向けた効果的な戦略設計に役立つ情報へのアクセスを提供するための重...
Reaching net-zero will require identifying gaps in data and providing access to the vital information needed to design effective strategies for a sustainable future.
Climate warnings, COVID-19, geopolitical tensions, and an energy crisis – navigating the energy transition through these turbulent times requires a change in strategy.
世界のエネルギー転換は過去10年間で多くの節目を迎え、大部分で期待を上回る成果を上げています。技術イノベーションや起業家精神、政策立案者と企業のリスクテイクのおかげで、2010年以降、設備能力は太陽光発電で7倍に、陸上風力発電で3倍に増加しました。かつては夢物語だと考えられていた再生可能エネルギーも、一部の国では発電構成に占める割合が化石燃料を上回っています
The world has made important strides toward energy transition in the past decade, but 81% of the world's energy is still based on fossil fuels, according to the Energy Transition Index 2021.
2020年は世界のエネルギー転換のターニングポイントとなるはずでした。人間の活動に起因した温室効果ガスの年間排出量を世界全体で見ると、エネルギーの生産と消費が3分の2を占めています。このためパリ協定の誓約を実現するためには、エネルギー転換を中心に据える必要があります。
Les perturbations de la COVID-19 ont mis en évidence les vulnérabilités du système énergétique.
全球每年人为产生的排放中，三分之二来自能源生产与消耗，因此能源转型成为履行《巴黎协定》承诺的核心，而2020年本应成为全球能源转型进程的转折点。
This year's index shows slow but steady progress, with more than 80% countries increasing their score since 2015. But COVID-19 has destablized the global energy system. So what's next?
Limiting global warming depends on a rapid global energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables. Yet many countries continue to rely on coal-fired power to meet the rising demand for ...
Electricity is not just a luxury, but a vital input to improved livelihoods, including standards of living, health and education.
