Report from Verisk Maplecroft concludes a disorderly energy transition is 'all but inevitable' for G20 economies
The world's leading economies are on track to miss their climate targets and are headed towards a disorderly energy transition, research published last week by risk intelligence company Verisk Maplecroft has warned.
An analysis of the emissions reduction efforts of more than 198 nations published late last week urged the G20 countries responsible for 80 per cent of global emissions to "yank the handbrake on emissions" so as to reduce the turbulence that is set to result from the combination of the net zero transition and escalating climate impacts.
