New Energy Outlook 2024
This year’s New Energy Outlook presents two scenarios that connect the dots between sectors, countries and technologies to map out how the transition could proceed from here. Our Net Zero Scenario charts country-level and global pathways to net zero by 2050, meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. Meanwhile, our Economic Transition Scenario shows how the transition could unfold solely based on economic forces and technology tipping points that push the balance in favor of low-carbon technologies, without further policy action.
