The report "Pathways to Net Zero: The Innovation Imperative" highlights the importance of climate technology in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and avoiding the worst impacts of climate change. The report identifies three main categories of climate abatement solutions: natural climate solutions, behavior change solutions, and climate technology. However, current rates of development and deployment of these solutions are insufficient to reach net zero emissions by 2050, leaving a "net zero gap." The report emphasizes the need for innovation across business, finance, policy, and technology to bridge this gap and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The report also identifies "The Big 3" climate technology foundations and "The Extended 10" key supporting climate technologies that will be critical in achieving this goal.
