World Energy Transitions Outlook 2023: 1.5°C Pathway (Preview)

The World Energy Transitions Outlook 2023 Preview offers key insights from the forthcoming IRENA report, providing high-level perspectives on the progress achieved in meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. IRENA’s 1.5°C pathway positions electrification and efficiency as key transition drivers, enabled by renewable energy, clean hydrogen and sustainable biomass. This preview of the World Energy Transitions Outlook provides an overview of the progress achieved in developing and implementing these technological avenues. It shows that the scale and extent of the change achieved in all sectors to date fall far short of what is required to stay on the 1.5°C pathway.
