What if the move to net-zero is disorderly?
Current climate action pledges won’t contain global warming to well below 2°C in line with the Paris Agreement. If decisive action is delayed further, a disorderly scenario will likely unfold and require stronger policy action to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
Our modelling suggests that an aggressive global carbon tax policy and limited renewable energy capacity would result in substantial economic damage. A slower rate of global warming provides some relief, but the most material environmental benefits won’t materialise until the second half of the century.

Most traded items such as machinery and automotives are set to benefit from higher investment demand and consumer spending.
