The potential contribution of disruptive low-carbon innovations to 1.5 °C climate mitigation

Charlie Wilson, Hazel Pettifor, Emma Cassar, Laurie Kerr, M. Wilson · 2018 · Energy Efficiency

Summary. This paper identifies 99 disruptive low-carbon innovations across mobility, food, buildings, and energy sectors that could reduce emissions and help limit warming to 1.5°C. Examples include car clubs, mobility-as-a-service, prefabricated retrofits, and urban farming. Using expert surveys and UK population scaling analysis, the authors demonstrate that consumer-facing innovations offering alternative value propositions can meaningfully contribute to climate mitigation targets.
