Energy

The energy transition is crucial to limiting global warming to the 1.5°C target set by the Paris Agreement. This move is vital not only for the climate, but also for corporate resilience and competitiveness.

About

The effects of climate change are increasingly apparent, impacting many countries around the world. In this sense, disruptive actions in all sectors of the economy must be taken in order to adopt more sustainable practices, replace fossil fuels and use ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere. 

CEBDS, through CT Energia, seeks to engage the business sector to lead actions towards a Fair, Orderly and Equitable Transition.

We are currently in a strategic consultation with associates to develop CT Energia's short, medium and long-term strategy.
