greater use of public procurement to invest in low-emission infrastructure can trigger industrial and business model innovation through the creation of lead markets.At the same time, we must recognise that sustainable growth also means inclusive growth.Coherent climate and investment policies, effective fiscal and structural policy settings and reforms must work together to facilitate the transition of exposed businesses and households, particularly in vulnerable regions and communities.Early planning for the transition is essential if societies are to avoid stranded assets in fossil-fuel-intensive industries and stranded communities alongside them.Looking beyond energy production and use, developments in agriculture, forestry and other land-use sectors will enable scaling up the pace of the transformation needed elsewhere in the economy.Current stocks of carbon in tropical forests and other ecosystems need to be protected and their ability to act as carbon sinks enhanced wherever possible.Research and development needs to be significantly strengthened and followed by rapid demonstration and diffusion of technological breakthroughs that will reduce and eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from energy, industry and transport, and improve agricultural yields and crop resilience.In addition, the feasibility to deploy "negative emissions" at scale remains a major uncertainty, despite being an important feature of most scenarios consistent with the Paris Agreement's goals.
