Answer:
The Covid-19 pandemic is having a major impact on energy systems around the world, curbing investments and threatening to slow the expansion of key clean energy technologies.
Before the crisis, progress on clean energy technologies had been promising, but uneven. The IEA’s annual Tracking Clean Energy Progress report shows that only 6 out of 46 technologies and sectors were “on track” to meet long-term sustainability goals in 2019. Those six included electric vehicles, rail transport, and lighting. Another 24 showed some progress, but not enough to meet long-term goals, while the remaining 16 were woefully “off track.”
Global carbon emissions will fall this year as a result of the major disruptions to travel, trade and economic activity brought about by the pandemic. But that’s no reason to celebrate, since it comes on the back of an international health crisis and widespread economic trauma. What happens next is crucial for our energy future. Achieving a robust economic recovery without the same kind of rebound in emissions that followed the 2008 global financial crisis will require governments to take the lead in pursuing structural reductions in emissions through smart, sustained and ambitious policies to accelerate the development and deployment of a full range of clean energy solutions.
