TECHNOLOGY & RESEARCH
All scenarios examined at the International level by the IPCC involve some technological breakthroughs, especially in energy production and storage and carbon storage, to fully decarbonize our economies.
Supporting fundamental research and public and private R&D is a key endeavour to reduce our emissions.
