New Approaches to a Multidimensional Transition
Milan
Developments over the last three years have demonstrated that the energy transition is more complicated than has previously been thought. While the transition proceeds, expectations of a single linear global transition have been shaken as climate goals coexist with priorities around energy security, energy access, and affordability.
To date the net-zero narrative has been led by the industrialized economies of the OECD, with less contribution from the developing world.
Over last 18 months, the International Energy Forum has engaged with a wide spectrum of stakeholders around the world to engage with more diverse voices under the program of the Global Energy Solutions Initiative.
This Leadership Roundtable builds on the IEF's landmark report "Shaping a Living Roadmap for Energy Transition" published in August 2023, which concluded that expectations of a single global linear transition were misplaced, and in fact the transition would be multidimensional.
This dialogue will explore different aspects of the multidimensional transition including:
- Maintaining energy market security and stability in the transition;
- Low hanging fruits of decarbonization;
- Technologies for hard-to-abate sectors;
- Carbon management and markets;
- Future scenarios, energy poverty and investment needs.
