How can we align energy and climate systems to drive competitiveness?
As populations and their energy needs grow, particularly in the fastest-growing emerging economies, the demand for cleaner, cheaper and more secure energy systems is intensifying. Countries that master this transition stand to gain a significant competitive advantage, while those that fall behind risk both economic decline and ecological damage. At the same time, the pressures on natural systems, from biodiversity loss to water scarcity, are compounding in ways that affect long-term economic viability. The challenge is to align energy innovation with broader industrial strategy, protect the natural capital on which prosperity depends and ensure the transition drives growth and employment.
