How to Decarbonize the Global Economy in 15 Years: A RethinkX Guide for COP26

By: The Posts Author | Posted on: 27 Sep 21

Decarbonizing the global economy at first glance looks like an overwhelming task, given that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from everywhere – every product, technology, industry, service, and sub-sector. But at RethinkX, based on our insights into the interface between societal change and technology disruptions, we have found that this challenge can be met rapidly and effectively with a focused approach. Thatā€™s because the bulk of emissions ā€“ over 90% ā€“ can actually be grouped around 3 major sectors: energy, food, and transportation.

The report presents three scenarios for how societal choices would determine future pathways for global carbon emissions: the Core Disruption Scenario (ā€˜Be Sensibleā€™), the Accelerated Disruption Scenario (ā€˜Get Seriousā€™), and the Delayed Disruption Scenario (ā€˜Get Stuckā€™). This blog presents …
