This brief presents some timelines on what transitioning away from fossil fuels could look like at both the global and national level, building on the Highest Possible Ambition scenario released last year by Climate Analytics and PIK. Focusing on fossil fuel demand, this brief provides data on the fossil fuel transition for a selected set of 15 countries.

Our flagship project the Climate Action Tracker has released a briefing, in the context of the US-Israel war on Iran, looking at what government responses work toward an energy transition and a decarbonisation of the global economy.

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has just released its gas projections for Western Australia, the results of which highlight the absence of climate policies in the state.

Tripling renewables, doubling energy efficiency and cutting methane by 2030 and beyond would cut warming rate by a third in ten years, and halve it by 2040. This would cut projected warming this century about 0.9˚C from 2.6˚C to 1.7˚C.

This analysis explores the technical feasibility and economic benefits of real zero. Our analysis demonstrates that reaching real zero is achievable in many sectors and identifies the economic benefits of eliminating fossil fuels.

This study shows that, even after years of insufficient action, the world can still return to well below 1.5°C of warming this century if countries pursue the “highest possible ambition” in climate action.
