of net-zero research increased from 31 % in 2011 to almost 50 % in 2020 .
What do the next 12 months hold for you and the company ? COP27 , the landmark US Climate Bill , the ongoing war in Ukraine , and shifting consumer preferences mean governments and companies ’ timelines to net zero have accelerated rapidly . We ’ ve already seen intergovernmental organisations such as the International Energy Agency seeking to help sustainability journeys , establishing shared goals to promote the effective operation of markets .
But , change doesn ’ t happen overnight . 2023 will see companies and governments strategising on their transition period , including how they can improve their energy security posture .
At Elsevier , we ’ ll be providing the technology and data that will help companies identify points in their current operations that can be made more sustainable – for example , using innovative materials and better maintaining current infrastructure . We ’ ll also be helping customers accelerate their renewables projects , providing insights that can mitigate risk and ensure ROI . We believe that with the right data , the industry can overcome the global energy challenges of today and reduce its environmental impact on tomorrow .
