International Energy Week 2024 | Energy Institute | 26 February 2024 | InterContinental London Park Lane, One Hamilton Place, Park Ln, London W1J 7QY, UK

The global energy system has proved itself capable of responding fast to immediate geopolitical shocks. In the face of the crisis precipitated by the Ukraine conflict, conventional energy markets have struggled but largely adapted to the new reality, with unprecedented changes in global trade flows, albeit at a huge cost to consumers.
But in its response to the climate emergency, the energy system is stubbornly resisting the permanent transformation required. Almost a decade on from the Paris Agreement and with dangerous climate impacts now hitting every continent, fossil fuels continue to dominate more than 80% of the global energy mix. Despite record growth in renewable electricity, emissions from energy continue to increase. In addition, hundreds of millions of people still don’t enjoy the benefits of access to sustainable energy.
Given the scale of this challenge and the long lead times involved, we are losing ground in the race to net zero by 2050. The technologies exist and the costs are falling. So what’s holding us back?
