The collapse in the cost of renewable energy is happening, making experts and policy-makers increasingly confident that delivering a world of net zero emissions by 2050 is plausible.

  2. Which industries will take the lead, and which will be the laggards?
  3. Will technology suffice or will constrained consumption be necessary?
