Both government and commercial efforts are needed to speed up the transition to clean energy, since, as Shell says, the transition is not just about reducing CO2 emissions, but it is rather a political balancing act that needs government-led policies.

It is certainly challenging for some countries and corporate organizations that are financially reliant on fossil fuels to fully embrace the energy transition pathway. However, the sooner clean energy is made widely available, the better our chances to win in the global fight against climate change.
