1.5°C climate target remains achievable thanks to solar technology: Updated IEA roadmap emphasizes the importance of clean energies
Published on: September 29, 2023 / Update from: October 12, 2023 - Author: Konrad Wolfenstein
🌍 Updated IEA roadmap: Increased ambition and global cooperation as key to climate success
🔄 Update 2023: IEA roadmap shows light and shadow in the global energy transition
The latest update to the International Energy Agency's (IEA) landmark net-zero roadmap highlights the critical importance of increased ambition and effective implementation strategies, strengthened by intensified international cooperation, to achieve global climate goals.
More about it here:
The possibility of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector to net zero and limiting global warming to 1.5°C remains. This is largely thanks to the unprecedented growth in key areas of clean energy technologies. However, there is an urgent need to increase the speed of implementation in many sectors, as the updated edition of the IEA roadmap suggests.
This revised roadmap outlines a global path of action to achieve the 1.5°C target and represents a major development of the original 2021 report. The report provides authoritative guidance for policymakers, industry, the financial sector and civil society. The 2023 update takes into account significant changes in the energy landscape, including the post-pandemic economic recovery and the impressive growth of some clean energy technologies. However, it also takes into account increased investments in fossil fuels and persistently high emissions levels.

🌿 The importance of the IEA's Net Zero Roadmap
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has taken a decisive step towards a more sustainable future with its Net Zero roadmap. This plan demonstrates that achieving climate goals, particularly limiting global warming to 1.5°C, is entirely feasible. But the emphasis is on “possible.” The reality is that the world will have to move much faster to make this scenario a reality.
🤝 International collaboration is a must
International efforts must go beyond borders. We talk about climate protection as a global challenge that requires collective action. It is not enough for just a few countries to meet their emissions targets. Cooperation at the international level is crucial, be it through trade agreements, technology transfers or through the coordination of research and development.
🚀 Key technologies and their role
The good news is that key clean energy technologies such as solar, wind and electric mobility are experiencing record growth. This shows that technological progress is on our side. But technology alone won't do it. It must be accompanied by regulatory measures, investments and social change.
🕰️ Time is key
The greatest enemy in this battle is time. The IEA makes it clear that momentum must increase quickly in many areas. This means we cannot afford to wait for the “perfect” plan or technology. We must act now and not rely on future developments that may come too late.

🌐 The International Energy Agency (IEA): From the oil crisis to climate policy 🌱
🛢 Origins in the oil crisis: A look back
The International Energy Agency (IEA) was founded during the turbulent period of the global oil crisis of 1973/1974. Its original mandate was to take coordinated action to secure oil supplies in the event of further energy crises. This founding goal was a reaction to the geopolitical tensions and supply bottlenecks at the time.
🌿 The Change: From Energy Security to Sustainable Development
Today, the IEA has significantly expanded its scope and advises its 28 member states on a wide range of energy policy issues. While energy security and economic growth continue to be key issues, environmental protection is also becoming an increasing focus of the organization. The clear goal: to ensure that the population is supplied with reliable, affordable and sustainable energy.
🌏 Global climate agenda and technology innovation
The IEA has strengthened its strategy in recent years, particularly in the area of climate policy. It is an important player at international climate conferences and is driving the discussion about the decarbonization of the energy sector. It also promotes market reforms and is involved in the development of breakthrough energy technologies such as renewable energy and energy storage.
🤝 International cooperation and emerging markets
Another key focus of the IEA is cooperation with emerging countries. Through training, partnerships and information exchange, these countries are intended to be better integrated in energy policy and environmental protection issues. The involvement of these countries is crucial as they are increasingly major energy consumers and emitters of greenhouse gases.
🎯 The future: An integrated approach to sustainable energy supply
The IEA faces the challenge of achieving its diversified objectives in a rapidly changing energy landscape. With the increasing threats of climate change and the urgent need for sustainable development, the agency has an important role in shaping global energy and climate policy. Their work remains crucial to making the energy supply safe, economical and environmentally friendly.
🌍 The International Energy Agency: More than just an oil watchdog
🛢️ From the oil crisis to global energy policy
The International Energy Agency (IEA) was originally created in 1973/1974 in the context of the global oil crisis. Its original mandate was to take coordinated action to secure oil supplies in the event of renewed crises.
💡 Diverse mission in the 21st century
Today the IEA has diversified its tasks. It now advises its 28 member states on a wide range of energy policy issues. This includes not only energy security and economic growth, but also sustainable development and climate protection.
🌿 Sustainability and climate policy
The IEA is increasingly focusing on issues such as common climate policy, market reforms and the development of new energy technologies. The involvement of emerging emerging countries in energy policy issues is also a key concern.
☀️ Focus on renewable energies and e-mobility
In particular, 2021 highlighted record growth in solar energy capacity and electric car sales as key milestones on the path to net-zero emissions by mid-century.
📈 Strategies for a low-emission decade
The IEA's updated net zero scenario outlines a dramatic increase in renewable energy and a doubling of energy efficiency improvements. In addition, methane emissions in the energy sector are to be reduced by 75%.
🤝 International cooperation as the key to success
IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol emphasizes the importance of strong international cooperation and calls for climate to be separated from geopolitics.
🌐 A fair transition for everyone
The IEA takes into account the importance of a fair transition that respects different national circumstances and levels of development.
💰 Financing the energy transition
Access to modern forms of energy for all requires an annual investment of almost $45 billion, which is just over 1% of total energy investment.
📉 Decline in demand for fossil fuels
By 2030, demand for fossil fuels is expected to fall by 25%. By 2050 it is expected to decrease by 80%, meaning that new projects in this area are no longer needed.
🔒 Challenges and opportunities
It is critical to increase investments in clean energy and correspondingly reduce investments in fossil fuels to avoid damaging price spikes or supply surpluses.

🌍 The need for a robust and diverse supply chain for clean energy technologies
Providing resilient and diversified supply chains for clean energy technologies and the critical minerals they require is central to building a net-zero emissions energy sector. It is equally important to keep supply chains open to meet the rapid and far-reaching development needs for clean energy.
🤝 International cooperation: The key to curbing global warming
The report highlights the urgent need for increased international cooperation to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Without sufficient efforts by 2030, climate risks will increase and the 1.5°C target would depend on the massive deployment of expensive and untested carbon removal technologies.
🕒 Delayed action and the cost of carbon removal
In the delayed action scenario, almost 5 billion tons of CO2 would have to be removed from the atmosphere annually in the second half of this century if clean energy does not expand fast enough. Dr. Birol emphasizes: “Removing carbon from the atmosphere is very expensive. We have to do everything we can to prevent him from getting there in the first place.”
🎯 COP28: A Critical Moment for Global Ambitions
With international movements to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030, the COP28 climate conference in Dubai offers a critical opportunity for greater engagement.
