In response to the growing number of pledges by countries and companies around the world to limit their emissions to net zero by 2050 or soon after, the IEA announced in January 2021 that it would produce a roadmap for the global energy sector to reach that goal. The IEA says the report, due to be published on May 18, 2021, will map out a pathway in line with preventing global temperatures from rising above 1.5 °C - something that environmental groups, investors and companies had been urging the IEA to do. All IEA member countries have signed the Paris Agreement which strives to limit warming to 1.5 °C and two thirds of IEA member governments have made commitments to emission neutrality in 2050.
