BNEF stresses that the window for action is fast closing, estimating that energy-related emissions must drop by almost a third below 1990 levels by the end of the decade, and fall by 75 per cent by 2040, if net zero by 2050 is to be achieved. Overall, global emissions need to fall 3.2 alive, the report states.
