Our CIO Special report, 'Energy Transition – the quest for emissions-free energy', looks at a central challenge for the world today: how we produce and use energy in a more sustainable way.
This transition will not just involve switching energy production to more renewable sources but also, as we argue, involve changing the ways in which we distribute, store and consume energy. This is an urgent task: the sector already accounts for the bulk of greenhouse gas emissions and energy demand is expected to increase.
This is the first report a new series exploring our nine long-term investment themes (LTIT).
