Faits progrès climatique antidote pessimisme
Summary
The document provides examples of global climate progress to counter pessimism, citing significant emissions drops in the EU and UK, China's rapid expansion of renewables and electric vehicles, and the resilience of subnational climate policies in the United States.
Key insights
- The European Union reduced its emissions by 8% in 2023, marking the largest reduction in decades outside of the COVID-19 pandemic. Collective emissions are 37% lower than 1990 levels, while the economy grew by nearly 70%, keeping the EU on track for a 55% reduction by 2030.
- The United Kingdom has reduced its emissions by more than half since 1990, largely due to the electricity sector where three-quarters of emissions were eliminated in 12 years. Coal, which provided 40% of electricity in 2012, was completely eliminated from the grid in October 2024, and the country aims for an 80% reduction by 2035.
