Brazil outlines first global roadmap for fossil fuel phase-out
Brazil, the host of last year’s UN climate conference, published the world's first global roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels on Tuesday. The document argues that countries can break their dependence on coal, oil, and gas while simultaneously boosting their economies and pulling people out of poverty.
However, the plan was met with qualified praise. Joeri Rogelj, a professor of climate science and policy at Imperial College London, described the roadmap as a valuable step forward but noted its significant limitations. According to Rogelj, the document falls short by failing to include any timeline or key benchmarks for the transition. This omission, he argued, leaves much to be imagined about what is needed to achieve the Paris Agreement’s ultimate goal of limiting warming to well below 2°C, and preferably to 1.5°C, to avoid dangerous climate harm.
