Achieving a carbon-neutral future requires decarbonizing power generation, transportation, cold-chain, and industry, each a major source of global emissions. The shift to renewables and advanced grid integration technologies in power enables cleaner and more resilient electricity. Transportation is transforming with vehicle electrification, alternate fuels, and battery technology advances, reducing fossil fuel reliance and emissions. Refrigeration and cold chains are adopting energy-efficient heat pumps, CO₂-based systems, and thermal storage, delivering sustainable cooling for food and pharmaceuticals. Across industries, emerging technologies in energy efficiency, such as digital energy management and carbon capture, further support emissions reductions by optimizing processes and energy use. Together, these efforts are essential for creating a sustainable, low-carbon economy and addressing the urgent challenge of climate change.

The three main global energy concerns of providing access to modern energy, enhancing the security of the energy supply, and minimising the impact of energy systems on the climate have an impact on both national and international energy governance. To develop solutions that address the many facets of these difficulties, however, a variety of actors and stakeholders must be included due to the complexity of the energy challenges.
Cities are responsible for more than 70% of the world’s energy consumption and 40% to 50% of its greenhouse gas emissions. Managing increasing urbanisation is a challenge, and nations must deal with the effects it will have on the environment in terms of energy and climate.
Our transition to a future with lower carbon emissions depends heavily on buildings. They are our places of residence, rest, and employment; they also account for around one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 40% of the world’s energy usage.
