Pathway for 1.5C

This report by Ember argues that Europe must achieve a fully decarbonised power system by the mid-2030s to align with the 1.5C goal of the Paris Agreement, asserting that such a transition is possible without additional costs beyond stated plans or compromising energy security.

• To keep the 1.5C target within reach, Europe needs a fully decarbonised power system by the mid-2030s, a conclusion supported by the IPCC's climate models and the IEA Net Zero roadmap.
• While the G7, Germany, and the UK have set targets for completely decarbonised power by 2035, there is currently no unified signal from the EU and Europe.
• Ember's modelling indicates that Europe can reach a clean power system by 2035 without compromising security of supply or incurring costs exceeding stated plans, though it will require investment beyond current plans and the removal of infrastructure barriers.
