Is net-zero possible by 2050?

Phil De Luna (MSE PhD 1T9)

The world needs to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, and half global emissions by 2030, in any hopes of avoiding the worst of climate change. Half of the technologies we need to reach net-zero are not yet commercial. This is the single largest transformation of our economy since the industrial revolution and will require breakthrough innovation and collaboration between governments, corporations, and society.
