Climate policy @ S-Curve Economics. Former World Bank. In awe of mountains & primates. Views my own.
Build the new before breaking the old tech + match policy to the stage of transition which that given sector/tech is at = the 2 key messages of this report.
The energy transition can seem like a daunting challenge: how can we transform the polluting machines in so many parts of our economy in such short order?
