New data from #SystemsChangeLab highlights three major shifts necessary to reduce and eliminate building-related emissions:
🏗️Construct zero-carbon buildings
🏭Optimize building energy efficiency
🏡Decarbonize heating, cooling and appliances

When the Paris Agreement was reached in 2015, it's goals were at risk of being dead on arrival because the world had 1,496 GW of coal power planned to be built. Since then it has fallen to 578 GW. Why? What's needed next? My new article: wri.org/insights/lesso…#SystemsChangeLab
🏙 With 2.5 billion more people expected to live in cities and urban areas around the world by 2050, it has never been more important to consider how we sustainably and equitably design our growing cities. Learn more at #SystemsChangeLab➡️ bit.ly/3xBhywj
This graph shows we have made a LOT of progress on climate change in the past 10 years!
And due to the increasing pace of technological advances in recent years (especially regarding solar, wind, batteries, EVs and eFuels) it will accelerate further.

Coal plants were booming in Chile a decade ago, but thanks to renewables the country has now cut its coal power usage in half even as electricity demand rises. Read how: wri.org/insights/count…
The UK and Chile are among the top 10 countries that have phased down coal the fastest. 🇬🇧🇨🇱
#SystemsChangeLab breaks down what we can we learn from their experiences in a new article: bit.ly/3sW5K5l
EVs are on track to reach ~2/3 of car sales in 2030, according to @RockyMtnInst. Compelling analysis of why the establishment view and oil companies are underestimating the future of EVs. rmi.org/insight/x-chan…. @KingsmillBond
Countries like Norway and China have shown it's possible to grow EV sales fast enough to meet climate goals. Exponential change is accelerating, so other countries are catching up. My new #systemschangelab article: wri.org/insights/count…@WorldResources
Countries as diverse as Denmark ($67k annual GDP per capita), Uruguay ($21k), and Namibia ($5k) rank within the top 8 for fastest periods of increasing solar and wind generation share. wri.org/insights/count…
The world needs solar and wind generation to grow from 12% to 41% by 2030 to be in line for net-zero emissions. 8 countries have proven such a steep rate of change is possible. #systemschangelab@WorldResources

NEW analysis finds Michigan can create 56,000 new #EV manufacturing jobs by 2030 if supportive policies are put in place to encourage EV investments and ensure a #JustTransition for auto workers and communities:
Excited that today my WRI team released a major report on how Michigan can maximize economic benefits and equity from the transition to EVs. It's the most comprehensive analysis to date of the jobs effects of EVs at the state level. wri.org/insights/michi…
US EV sales growing from 6% today to 67% in the next 10 years, as the EPA rules imply, is definitely possible. Norway went from 6% EV sales to 86% EV sales in 9 years after incentivizing EVs.
In both the US and France, heat pump sales crossed 50% in 2022. I hadn't realized this important threshold had already been crossed. iea.org/commentaries/g…
