Abstract

A key element in the success of limiting mean global surface temperature rise to below 2°C will be transformation of the energy sector globally. In addition to implementing already-available options for more efficient use of energy and low-emissions energy supply, action is needed now to put in place the conditions for longer-term structural change to low-emissions energy systems. This transformational change will involve linkages between actions, institutions, and processes, both inside and outside the UNFCCC framework. This paper explores how the 2015 climate agreement, along with the nationally-determined contributions that Parties make under it, could drive energy sector transformation in addition to tracking greenhouse gas outcomes. La transformation du secteur de l'énergie : enjeux et options à débattre lors des négociations de la CCNUCC Un facteur essentiel pour parvenir à limiter l’augmentation de la température moyenne à la surface du globe à 2°C sera la transformation du secteur de l’énergie dans le monde entier. En plus de mettre en oeuvre des solutions déjà disponibles permettant d’utiliser plus efficacement l’énergie et d’obtenir des approvisionnements énergétiques à faibles émissions, il faut agir dès aujourd’hui afin de créer les conditions propices à la mutation structurelle qui aboutira, à plus long terme, à la mise en place de systèmes énergétiques à faibles émissions. Les transformations nécessaires mettront en relation des actions, des institutions et des processus, à la fois dans le cadre de la CCNUCC et hors de ce cadre. Ce rapport analyse comment l’accord de 2015 sur le climat, ainsi que les contributions déterminées au niveau national que les Parties apporteront à ce titre, pourraient non seulement permettre de suivre les résultats obtenus concernant les gaz à effet de serre, mais aussi être les moteurs de la transformation du secteur de l’énergie.
