Energy Transitions Commission

The Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) combines leaders from industry, finance and climate advocacy. It aims to accelerate transitions to zero-carbon energy systems by using its unique voice and robust, action-oriented research to influence the global and regional energy agenda.

The ETC convenes powerful voices from across the global energy system. It includes major energy companies such as Royal Dutch Shell and Huaneg Group, global industrial groups such as ArcelorMittal, Tata and Veolia, financial giants such as HSBC, and leading NGOs – the World Resources Institute and Resources Institute India, among others.

Its members are committed to limiting the rise in global temperatures to well below 2°C. They have looked beyond their differences to jointly define feasible pathways to zero-carbon energy systems.

Its Mission Possible report has shifted the energy transition debate. It demonstrates that full decarbonization is technically and economically possible by mid-century; it highlights how to achieve this, even in the “harder-to-abate” sectors in transport and industry, such as shipping and plastics.
