WEF 2022: Low carbon-emitting technologies crucial to check climate change

The WEF 2022 white paper gives an overview of the key insights and results from the policy dashboard

Upscaling of "low carbon-emitting technologies" (LCETs) in the chemical industry is crucial to address climate change but are strongly affected by the political and legal environment.

Releasing a new dashboard on the impact of policy on LCETs in seven jurisdictions -- the European Union, the US, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the UK-- along with the paper, the World Economic Forum (WEF) said these seven are jointly responsible for about 50 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
