We are not on the right trajectory to meet the Paris Agreement’s objectives. What should we do?

While renewable energy sources reached record highs for the 22nd consecutive year, global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions also rose, reminding us that the path to a sustainable future remains steep. In Capgemini’s 26th World Energy Markets Observatory (WEMO), we delve deep into the most pressing trends shaping the future of energy, offering critical insights for businesses, policymakers, and stakeholders navigating this complex landscape.

“The world remains off-track to meet the Paris Agreement’s target of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. In this year’s WEMO we explore key factors influencing the future of energy markets, including the impact of political shifts, private and public investments, and technology deployment at scale.”
