Workshop: B081 Zero by 2030

Creating momentum to end the fossil fuel age step by step

Summary

The shrinking 1.5° carbon budget leaves no doubt: we have to get off fossil fuels as soon as possible - and within the 2020s in the Global North. But what would a swift energy transition in this decade look like? Which tools and mechanisms can we use to speed up the pace of the fossil fuel phase out? We will share some tools that can remove some obstacles and we will explore together what hidden potential for reaching zero by 2030 are to be found in your own organizations and home countries.

Description

Few institutions are preparing for a full transition to 100% renewable energy and zero fossils on a timescale of years - but this is precisely what we need to stay below 1.5° warming.

In this workshop we will brainstorm together how such a fast transition could be achieved, removing key constraints. Join us in imagining a pathway to achieving the transition much faster than most people anticipate today. After all, the banking crisis and the pandemic have shown that money and resources are not in short supply when they get prioritized, and the Ukraine war has shown that we can get off fossil fuels much faster if we really want to.

Zero by 2030 is a necessity, and you are invited to create that new reality.
