DRIVERS AND TRENDS
Climate change – the greatest challenge of our time One of the biggest challenges involved in achieving a global sustainable society is to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and slow down the current rate of climate change. There is great international awareness of how climate change, which causes natural disasters and extreme weather conditions, is threating our living conditions, biodiversity and political stability in society.
The international ambition is to reduce global warming to less than two degrees. This requires a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 70% by 2050 compared with the level in 2010, an annual reduction of 6.5%. To achieve our growth targets while also meeting sustainability goals, we need to use less energy per unit we produce. We see it as our responsibility to focus on creating a product portfolio of sustainable, energy-efficient energy solutions that supports the transition to a fossil-free society with reduced energy consumption.
