Completing the picture - How the circular economy tackles climate change
The transition to renewable energy is vital if we are to tackle climate change. Yet, with existing technologies, that transition would only tackle 55% of the emissions that cause the climate to change. It would tackle the emissions that come from the electricity and heat we use in buildings, from our energy system more broadly, and from transport.
To tackle the remaining 45% of emissions, which come from industry, agriculture, and land use, we need to transition to a circular economy.
