The Paris Agreement, a legally binding treaty, saw 196 signatory countries commit their focus to alleviate the global climate emergency in 2016. These signatures represent a worldwide attitude shift toward climate change, forcing green energy from ideology to real world application.
Achieving climate neutrality by 2050 will require mass advancement and implementation of technologies, science and infrastructure across all industries globally. Over the next few decades, many elements of daily life will have shifted in some way – our electricity, transportation, agriculture and architecture will all need to come from emission free sources. Policies and regulations will need to follow suit to ensure maximum efficiency for the roll out of this new carbon neutral world. These changes, in such a short time span, will be heavily money consuming. For this reason, larger and more economically developed countries (MEDCs) are set to lead the way – with many eyes fixed on Asia Pacific, and hydrogen.
