Doubling Down on the Market-Based Transformation

The statement argues that the economic viability of energy efficiency and renewables ensures the energy transition's progress despite potential shifts in U.S. policy priorities. It highlights that Fortune 500 companies and automotive manufacturers have already adopted these solutions because they make economic sense, aligning with the global goals established at COP21.

• The organization maintains that the economic advantages of energy efficiency and renewables will eventually supersede traditional energy systems, noting that market-based transformations have already led Fortune 500 companies to invest in renewables, building portfolios to undergo deep energy retrofits, and car companies to produce lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles.
• Despite uncertainty regarding how the United States will meet the 2 Celsius degree target established at COP21 following the 2016 election results, the global commitment to a low-carbon future remains an urgent priority.
