The planet has warmed by over 1.2°C on average since pre-industrial times, largely driven by carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels to generate electricity and heat. Climate change is not a future problem: even at 1.2°C of warming, glaciers are shrinking, sea level rise is accelerating and heat waves are more intense. To mitigate the impacts of climate change, we need to rapidly reduce our emissions to reach net zero by 2050.

The Ecofin team believe the only way to achieve this goal is to end our reliance on fossil fuels and invest heavily in renewable energy. Renewable energy sources are available all around us: the sun, wind, waste, water and heat from the Earth can provide sustainable, affordable and reliable energy with few to no emissions. By increasing the supply of renewable energy, we can replace carbon-intensive energy sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our energy system.
