The global climate crisis has prompted countries around the world to transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy. Global commitments have begun to put all countries on a path to phase out fossil fuels and achieve net zero emissions (NZE) by 2050, as called for in the Paris Agreement. Achieving NZE will require a collective global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030. Phasing out and out of fossil fuels has become necessary to mitigate the worsening of global warming.
