Society must move more forcefully to combat global warming, the world’s top climate scientists warned Monday in a new report that says existing solutions and innovation offer hope—but not without action.
Enbridge welcomes the thought and discussion the study by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will prompt in the coming days. We are committed to building a bridge to the energy future, to remaining engaged and focused on such an important global issue, and to finding and implementing impactful solutions.
The IPCC said limiting global warming to around 1.5 degrees Celsius will require global greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025—at the latest—and be reduced to 43% by 2030. Global temperatures will stabilize when carbon dioxide emissions reach net zero, the report says.
Here are some key initiatives Enbridge has taken in our quest to bridge to the energy future while continuing to provide access to affordable, reliable and increasingly sustainable low-emissions energy:

Enbridge’s vision is to be the leading energy delivery company in North America. We deliver the energy people need and want—to heat their homes, to keep their lights on, to keep them mobile and connected.
We operate across North America, fueling the economy and people’s quality of life. We move about 25% of the crude oil produced in North America, we transport nearly 20% of the natural gas consumed in the U.S., and we operate North America’s third-largest natural gas utility by consumer count. Enbridge was an early investor in renewable energy, and we have a growing offshore wind portfolio.
We work collaboratively every day to provide safe, reliable energy. Enbridge connects energy supply with growing markets in North America through our three core businesses:
