WORLD ENERGY OUTLOOK
“The cost of getting on track to meet the climate
goal for 2030 has risen by about US$1 trillion compared with the estimated cost in last year’s Outlook. This is because much stronger efforts, costing considerably more, will be needed after 2020,” says WEO 2010. In the 450 Scenario in this year’s Outlook,
the additional spending on low-carbon energy technologies (business investment and consumer spending) amounts to nearly US$18 trillion (in year-2009 dollars) more than in the Current Policies Scenario, in which no new policies are assumed, in the period 2010-2035. It is around US$13.5 trillion

more than in the New Policies Scenario. “The timidity of current commitments has undoubtedly made it less likely that the 2°C goal will be achieved. Reaching that goal would require a phenomenal policy push by governments
In the 450 Scenario ... additional spending on low-carbon energy technologies amounts to nearly US$18 trillion
worldwide: carbon intensity — the amount of CO2 emitted per dollar of GDP — would have to fall at twice the rate of 1990-2008 in 2008- 2020 and four times faster in 2020- 2035. The technology exists today to enable such a change, but such a rate of technological transformation would be unprecedented,” IEA insist. “These commitments must be
interpreted in the strongest way possible with much stronger commitments adopted and acted upon after 2020, if not before.” •
