Supporting policymakers to make informed decisions towards the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement.
Diversify primary and final energy supply
Accelerate phase-out of unabated fossil fuels
Electrify all sectors through renewable energy and nuclear power
Scale-up innovative low- and zero-carbon technologies
Innovation and digitalization enable energy systems that are efficient, resilient, and capable of delivering a net-zero region. Sustainable innovative solutions, such as CCUS, hydrogen and the advanced nuclear power, must be scaled-up to match traditional technologies’ cost and technical competitiveness through technological advances, economies of scale, and closer alignment with market demand.
UNECE has developed various publications on carbon neutrality including technology and policy briefs to achieve greater energy security, affordability and reach net-zero targets in the UNECE region.
