Despite a global push towards cleaner forms of energy, we are not<\/em> on track to battle global warming, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warns in its World Energy Outlook 2021 report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even more alarmingly, the scenarios mapped out in the report show that announced pledges fall far short of the emission reductions needed to limit the temperature rises to 1.5 Celsius degrees \u2014 beyond which the worst impacts of climate change will be felt.<\/p>\n
