What the World Will Look Like in 2030 and 2050

In the effort to set carbon reduction and other sustainability targets, we cannot lose sight of what we are trying to accomplish collectively: a more sustainable economy and a healthier world not only for ourselves but for future generations. What should businesses look like and operate in 2050? How do we accurately assess costs and risks associated with the net zero transition? How should we approach assumptions and milestones when building a normative scenario of the global energy sector? How will R&D and innovation drive us forward? To be ready for the 2050 world, what must we achieve and put in place by 2030? And what must we do now? How do past experiences of transitions, achieved or otherwise, inform us of the future of the industry?
