A Changing World Making the Road to Carbon Neutrality Even More Bumpy

Since the Conference of the Parties (COP) in Glasgow in November 2021 (COP26) the world has changed dramatically.

This war has also implications for the transition of fossil to non-fossil energy, required to achieve the target of the 2015 Paris Agreement. In this third editorial on the (bumpy) road to carbon neutrality in 2050, I will summarize the recent developments in a bird's eye view.
