The energy transition in Europe needs to enter a phase of unprecedented acceleration and action is urgently required across the energy system.

In this report we identify five key game changers needed to accelerate action and address the twin energy and climate crisis:

1. Raise the game on clean and renewable power and grids
2. Electrify everything that can be electrified
3. Strengthen the backbone of the transition
4. Unlock the power of the demand side
5. Secure signals, secure investment

Find out how technology, human ingenuity and a team game will transform the energy system.

The World Economic Forum, with knowledge partner Accenture, created the Net Zero Carbon Cities program – a cross-sectoral initiative with the goal of creating an enabling environment for clean electrification and circularity, resulting in urban decarbonization and resilience.

The program has developed the City Sprint methodology and Toolbox of Solutions to help guide cities in their pursuit of Net Zero. The format enables stakeholders from both the public and private sector to consider the opportunities and priorities to accelerate decarbonization in the wider local area. The Sprint is a series of action-oriented workshops, identifying impactful solutions for near-term implementation and mobilising local stakeholders to deliver on these shared objectives.
