Mere Cleaning of Energy Supply Not Sufficient to Achieve Paris Agreement Goals

Fossil fuels are used for Transporting goods, manufacturing products, and heating buildings. The authors of a new study have stated that the lack of critical change at present in these sectors will lead to a “lock-in” of increased emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) for several decades.
