**The global pathway to net zero emissions by 2050 detailed in this report requires all governments to significantly strengthen and then successfully implement their energy and climate policies.** Commitments made to date fall far short of what is required by that pathway. **In this Summary for Policy Makers, we outline the essential conditions for the global energy sector to reach net zero CO****2** **emissions by 2050.** The pathway described in depth in this report achieves this objective with no offsets from outside the energy sector, and with low reliance on negative emissions technologies. **The path to net zero emissions is narrow: staying on it requires immediate and massive deployment of all available clean and efficient energy technologies.** In the net zero emissions pathway presented in this report, the world economy in 2030 is some 40% larger than today but uses 7% less energy. The transition to net zero brings substantial new opportunities for employment, with 14 million jobs created by 2030 in our pathway thanks to new activities and investment in clean energy.

## List of Countries with Net-Zero Commitments and Climate Accountability Legislation. Net-zero commitments can take the form of legislation, a submission to the UN, a policy statement, a coalition agreement, other credible public proclamations, or any combination thereof. It is important to note that net-zero commitments and climate accountability legislation are different, though there is some overlap. Finland, for example, has a coalition agreement as of 2019 to reach net-zero by 2035, however, their 2015 Climate Change Act only requires an 80% reduction by 2050. | Sweden | Climate Policy Framework (2017) | Net-zero by 2045 |. | The United Kingdom | Climate Change Act (2008) | Net-zero by 2050 |. | Denmark | Climate Act (2020) | 70% in 2030 compared to 1990 and net-zero by 2050 |. | Fiji | Climate Change Act (2019) (Draft) | Net-zero by 2050 |. | New Zealand | Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Act (2019) | Net-zero by 2050 |.

In recent years as the Russia-Ukraine war has impacted energy supply and prices worldwide, Lithuania has emerged as a renewable leader, ending its reliance on [imported Russian fossil fuels in 2022.](https://www.iea.org/countries/lithuania) It has more than doubled its renewable generation since 2018 and is now more than [60% renewable](https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/76ad6eac-2aa6-4c55-9a55-b8dc0dba9f9e/Renewables2025.pdf), supported by a [boom in rooftop solar](https://www.iea.org/reports/lithuania-2025/infographic#abstract). Germany is a leader in [offshore wind](https://www.renewableuk.com/news-and-resources/press-releases/global-operational-offshore-wind-capacity-up-14-in-last-12-months-to-85-gigawatts/), and is also installing solar at record rates: on average, Germany has been installing [more than 100,000 solar panels](https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/germany-sets-new-record-for-renewable-power/) every day! With [fewer than 10%](https://www.afdb.org/en/news-and-events/press-releases/mauritania-signs-300-million-ipp-deal-hybrid-solar-wind-plant-under-desert-power-initiative-87346) of rural Mauritanian households connected to electricity, renewables are a key part of the country’s goal of achieving universal access by the end of the decade. We are also in the midst of a [battery boom](https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/resources/battery-boom-supercharging-australias-renewable-rollout/), with more than one million household batteries expected to be installed between now and 2030 to soak up all the excess solar power from our rooftops. ### [How we can power Australia with renewable energy while protecting nature](https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/how-we-can-power-australia-with-renewable-energy-while-protecting-nature/).

To keep global warming to no more than 1.5°C – as called for in the [Paris Agreement](https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/paris-agreement) – emissions need to be reduced by 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. To develop stronger and clearer standards for net-zero emissions pledges by non-State entities such as businesses, investors, cities and regions, and speed up their implementation, UN Secretary-General António Guterres in March 2022 established a [High-Level Expert Group](https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/high-level-expert-group) on the Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities. To keep global warming to no more than 1.5°C – as called for in the [Paris Agreement](https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/paris-agreement) – emissions need to be reduced by 55 per cent by 2035 and reach net zero by 2050. Getting to net zero requires all governments – first and foremost the biggest emitters – to significantly strengthen their [Nationally Determined Contributions](https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/all-about-ndcs) (NDCs) and take bold, immediate steps towards reducing emissions now. ### [Strengthening the standards for net-zero pledges](https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/high-level-expert-group). * [Explaining net zero](https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/net-zero-coalition). * [Checklists for credibility of net-zero pledges](https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/implementing-high-level-expert-group-report).
