Developing countries play a central role in meeting this challenge. Increasing energy needs due to electric vehicles, AI-powered data centers, and air conditioning are creating an annual electricity demand equal to Japan’s annual consumption. This growing demand is keeping fossil fuel use high even as clean energy sources like wind and solar are breaking records.
Emissions will continue unless coal and gas power plants are closed or oil production is stopped. Scientists warn of serious consequences that could destroy cities and ecosystems, such as irreversible ice sheet destruction, heat waves and rising sea levels.
