Editor's Notes
four major biophysical climate change impacts on China's environment: melting glaciers,
rising sea levels,
biodiversity loss, and
increase in natural disasters.
The rapid change in temperature has a direct and profound impact on glaciers.
Solar, wind and energy efficiency deliver 50% emissions reduction to 2030; share of fossil fuels falls from 80% in 2020 to just over 20% in 2050
Technology innovation is key: reaching net‐zero emissions will require the widespread use of technologies that are still under development today such as CCUS and hydrogen
Consumer behavior needs to change
Globally, total annual energy investment surges to USD 5 trillion by 2030, adding an extra 0.4 percentage point a year to annual GDP growth
Better alignment of investment capital and demand is needed: Over 80% of global financial assets are in DMs while 70% of the SDG capital needs are in EMs; 88% of explicit ESG-dedicated active funds have either a global or DM mandate, according to Morningstar.
