But the current energy transition is different from all others for it faces a fundamental challenge – to reduce emissions while energy consumption continues to grow, and in as short a time as a quarter century. This imperative of reducing emissions has been translated into the “net-zero” emissions goals. Yet developments over the last two years have demonstrated that the energy transition is more complicated than has previously been thought. While the transition proceeds, expectations of a linear global transition have been shaken as climate goals coexist with priorities around energy security, energy access, and affordability. To date the net-zero narrative has been led by the Global North – mainly the industrialized nations of the OECD, with less contribution from the Global South, the developing nations. Over last year, the International Energy Forum along with SP Global Commodity Insights as our chief knowledge partner has engaged with a wide spectrum of stakeholders around the world, in the Global South and the Global North, to engage with more diverse voices. This report summarizes the findings from the dialogues. The dialogues expressed a view that expectations of a linear global transition of the energy system following a single net-zero path globally will be very difficult to achieve. Instead, a “multidimensional” approach is required that is inclusive of different situations in different parts of the world, reflecting varied starting points, diversity of policy approaches; and is equitable. The report aims to bring attention to the issues to be addressed by policy makers, industry leaders, financial institutions, and t
