Moving from principles to action for energy supply that mitigates against climate change requires a long-term perspective. Energy infrastructure takes time to build up; new energy technologies take time to develop. Policy shifts often also need many years to take effect. In most world regions the transformation from fossil to renewable energies will require additional investment and higher supply costs over about twenty years

development of CO2 emissions

Whilst the OECD Pacific ́s emissions of CO2 will decrease by 15% under the Reference scenario, under the Energy [R]evolution scenario they will decrease from 2,144 million tonnes in 2007 to 385 million t in 2050. Annual per capita emissions will fall from 10.7 t to 2.1 t. In the long run efficiency gains and the increased use of renewable electricity in vehicles will even reduce emissions in the transport sector. With a share of 51% of total CO2 in 2050, the power sector will remain the largest sources of emissions.

The advanced Energy [R]evolution scenario reduces energy related CO2 emissions about ten to 15 years faster than the basic scenario, leading to 6.5 t per capita by 2030 and 0.4 t by 2050. By 2050, OECD Pacific ́s CO2 emissions are 5% of 1990 levels.
