Tenfold Jump in Green Tech Needed to Meet Global Emissions Targets

Green innovations must be developed and spread globally 10 times faster than in the past if we are to limit warming to below the Paris Agreement's 2 degrees C target

The global spread of green technologies must quicken significantly to avoid future rebounds in climate-warming emissions, a new study shows.  Based on the new calculations, the Paris Agreement's warming target of 2 degrees C won't be met unless clean technologies are developed and implemented at rates 10 times faster than in the past.  Radically new strategies to implement technological advances are needed.
