The breakthrough agenda report 2022: accelerating sector transition through stronger international collaboration

This report focused on supporting stronger international collaboration to drive faster reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions. Without international cooperation, the crucial global transition to net zero emissions could be delayed by decades. The faster the transition advances, the faster it will deliver clean technologies at lower cost, making them available for all. This is all the more urgent in the context of recent sharp spikes in energy and food prices around the world. The report assesses progress on reducing emissions in five key sectors-power, hydrogen, road transport, steel and agriculture. The author makes the recommendations to strengthen collaboration between governments, business and civil society in areas such as common standards, technology R&D, reaching a level playing field for trade, and improving technical and financial assistance.
