Global Battery Alliance Pledge for Action

Battery technology will enable the transport and power sectors to reduce emissions by 30% by 2030, on track to meet the Paris Agreement goal of 2°C. How can partnerships accelerate a battery revolution to create 10 million jobs, add $150 billion to the global economy and provide electricity to 600 million people?

The Global Battery Alliance announces a pledge for action, backed by 60 organizations, towards the implementation of climate-change mitigation and sustainable development measures.
