"Progress paradox": how to turn the renewable boom into an actual drop in emissions

A recent UN report details the risks associated with exceeding the 1.5°C limit of global warming and explores the so-called "progress paradox" — the idea that the growth of renewable energy, although positive, can paradoxically lead to a net increase in emissions if not accompanied by adequate structural policies. The document explains that, for the renewable boom to translate into a real reduction in carbon emissions, systemic changes are needed in how energy is produced, distributed and consumed, including investments in electricity grids, energy storage and energy efficiency.

However, the document emphasized that it is still possible to reverse this trajectory and make the temperature recede by the end of the century, through aggressive reductions in carbon emissions.
