Strategies for Affordable and Fair Clean Energy Transitions

This comprehensive, evidence-based report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) offers a big-picture perspective on the costs, benefits, opportunities, and challenges of a rapid clean energy transition. The report explains how a clean energy future would be more affordable while also detailing the challenges that come with financing the transition at the level of government, households, and the private sector. It explores the policies needed to share the costs of the transition fairly, examines the risk of price shocks (drawing on historic examples and potential future risks), and provides guidance on how to safeguard against shocks that may compromise the affordability and fairness of the energy transition. These insights have important implications that will be most relevant to business leaders, strategy teams, and sustainability teams.
