The World Energy Outlook 2020 is out!
It shows how the Covid crisis has brought deep disruption & uncertainty to the energy sector.
Whether it helps or hinders clean energy transitions will depend on how the pandemic plays out & how governments respond: iea.li/3dpw9wb

Solar is becoming the new king of the world’s electricity markets, leading the renewables charge.
It is set to triple before 2030 under today’s policy settings & has the potential to grow much faster, followed by onshore & offshore wind.

There's lots of talk about peak oil demand, but it misses the point.
#WEO20 shows that the era of global oil demand growth will end in the next decade. But without a big shift in government policies, there's no sign a rapid decline is coming.

Global emissions are set to rebound much more slowly than after the 2008-09 financial crisis.
But #WEO20 makes it clear that the 🌍 is far from putting emissions into decisive decline. And low economic growth is not a low-emissions strategy.

Putting the 🌍 on track to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 would demand enormous and all-encompassing efforts over the next 10 years from companies, citizens, investors &, most of all, governments.

Using new technologies to avoid future emissions isn't enough.
If today’s coal plants, steel mills, cement factories & other infrastructure keep running in the same way as before, that alone would lock in a temperature rise of 1.65 °C.

The Covid crisis is hurting vulnerable populations the most.
The number of people without access to electricity has been decreasing in Sub-Saharan Africa since 2013, but #WEO20 shows the pandemic is putting this into reverse. The number is set to rise by 13 million in 2020.
