The report, Energy Revolution: a sustainable world energy outlook, provided a “roadmap” for meeting future energy needs without fuelling climate change, said Sven Teske from Greenpeace International.

He added that the strategy outlined in the report showed that it was economically feasible to cut global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by almost 50% over the next 43 years.
