To meet

5、that goal, countries and companies have committed to reaching net-zero emissions of CO2 and reducing emissions of other greenhouse gases. But there has not been enough progress. The share of primary energy produced by renewable sources, for example, has risen slowly, from 8 percent in 2010 to 12 per

6、cent in 2021. If emissions stay on their current trajectory, estimates from various sources suggest, net zero would not arrive even by the end of the century. A successful net-zero transition will require achieving not one objective but four interdependent ones: emissions reduction, affordability, r

7、eliability, and industrial competitiveness. A poorly executed transition could make energy, materials, and other products less affordable, compromising economic empowerment. It could also make the supply of energy and materials less secure and resilient, and it could render some countries and compan

8、ies less competitive. If that happened, progress toward net zero itself could stall. Our research has found practical ways to address those objectives simultaneously. Seven principles can help stakeholders successfully navigate the next phase of the transition. For example, deploying lower-cost solu

9、tions and driving down the cost of more expensive ones could bolster affordability. Managing existing and emerging energy systems in parallel could make access to energy more reliable. Seeking opportunities by using comparative advantage as a guide could help countries bolster their competitiveness.

10、 Following those principles could substantially improve the worlds current trajectory. We examined the potential implications of applying two principles: deploying more lower-cost solutions and using R&D and other measures to double the expected rate of cost declines. Our illustrative analyses found

11、 that doing so could substantially improve the current trajectory of emissions and help limit warming to what the Paris Agreement envisions. Capital spending on low-emissions technologies would potentially be one and a half to two times as large as it is nowas opposed to about three times, as might

12、be the case if the two principles were applied less extensively. Embracing a change of mindset can help the world move Closerto net zero. In addition to global commitments to reach net zero in the future, stakeholders should commit to making more and more progress every year and doing so in a way th

13、at addresses all four objectives.IntroductionToday, the world is undertaking the net-zero transition, an ambitious effort to reach net-zero emissions of CO2 and reduce emissions of other greenhouse gases (GHGs). The goal of the transition is outlined in the Paris Agreement adopted at the United Nati

14、ons in 2015: to limit global warming above preindustrial levels to well below 2.0oC, and ideally to 1.5oC. Doing so would reduce the odds of initiating the most catastrophic impacts of climate change.1 According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), limiting warming to 1.5oC would

15、 require reducing GHG emissions by 43 percent between 2019 and 2030 and cutting net emissions of CO2 to zero by around 2050.2But the effort to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement is not currently on track, as a recent report from the United Nations shows.3 Many public and private actors, aspiring

16、to meet those goals, are working to usher in the transitions next phase, one in which more capital flows toward the transition and the deployment of necessary technologies expands substantially.Often, the transition is envisioned as a single great challenge: reducing emissions from energy, materials, and land-use and other systems. In practice, it consists of four objectives: emissions reduction, afforda
