A global coalition of leaders from across the energy landscape committed to achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century
Overcoming Turbulence in the Offshore Wind Sector
The latest insights briefing from the Energy Transitions Commission, Overcoming Turbulence in the Offshore Wind Sector, highlights the need for governments and the offshore wind industry to join forces to restore confidence in the market, drive down costs and accelerate the clean energy transition.
NDCs, NCQG, and Financing the Transition: Unlocking Flows for a Net-Zero Future
The latest briefing note from the Energy Transitions Commission, NDCs, NCQG, and Financing the Transition: Unlocking Flows for a Net-Zero Future, clarifies the nature and scale of different types of finance required, and proposes four principles to ensure a useful conclusion of the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) debate. It also explains the vital role that updated National Determined Contributions (NDCs) can and must play in unleashing financial flows.
Overview
The Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) is a global coalition of leaders from across the energy landscape working together to accelerate the transition to a zero-emissions future.
We develop transition roadmaps and tools building on robust analysis and extensive exchanges with experts and practitioners across energy-intensive value chains. This work is generally undertaken with a range of partners, industry associations, NGOs and experts. In the harder-to-abate sectors specifically, we work under the umbrella of the Mission Possible Platform, an initiative established by the ETC and the World Economic Forum.
Our main areas of focus
Our activities encompass the energy sector itself, as well as key energy-consuming sectors in industry, transport and buildings.
In each sector, we work with corporate leaders to define a pathway to net-zero emissions and establish the building blocks of net-zero value chains. This work is generally undertaken with a range of partners, industry associations, NGOs and experts. In the harder-to-abate sectors specifically, we work under the umbrella of the Mission Possible Platform, an initiative established by the ETC and the World Economic Forum.
