1/ Today's thread on our #ParisAgreement-compatible benchmarks report: all countries must decarbonise their #electricity sector by 2040, latest 2050. Emissions intensity must get to zero. #power #decarbonisation - see report here bit.ly/CAT_PSR1
2/ #Decarbonising the #power sector is key: without it, other sectors cannot do so. The 2030 benchmarks are also key - if countries are not on the right pathway by 2030, they cannot reach their 2050 goal. #renewables bit.ly/CAT_PSR1
3/ All countries must ramp-up #renewables (or other CO2-free technologies), to 98-100%, ideally by 2040, latest 2050. Fossil #CCS not viable: economically it doesn't stack up against #renewables with storage; current #nuclear not nimble enough. bit.ly/CAT_PSRsum
4/ China, EU, US, South Africa heading in right direction on share of #renewables in #power sector. Cause for concern are Brazil, India and Indonesia. Much work needs to be done at the global level #wind #solar bit.ly/CAT_PSRsum
5/ #Coal phase out is top priority: its share of #electricity sector must reduce to zero by 2030 in all developed countries, and to zero by 2040 in developing countries & emerging economies where coal currently dominates. #SouthAfrica of great concern. bit.ly/CAT_PSRsum
