By 2050, the world will have reduced tons of CO2 by just 12 billion over 27 years, compared to the 37.4 required by the International Energy Agency to achieve climate neutrality. Italy, on the other hand, is moving in the right direction, with a 7.7% reduction in CO2 emissions and an increasing use of renewable sources in 2023. This is the finding of the report "Energy Transition and Large Companies. Trends and economic impact in Italy and Europe”, published by the Rome Business School. Italy is thus in line with European targets and is expected to exceed its 2030 target on the share of renewable energy use by reaching 40.5%. The transportation sector continues to be the largest contributor to air pollution in Italy (27%), followed by industry (19%), residential sector (12%), and finally agriculture (8%). Rome, however, is unfortunately the most polluted capital of Europe.
