How do existing agreements on electric bus procurement conflict with the current challenges posed by grid congestion?

Grid congestion, a significant unforeseen obstacle, is delaying the transition to electric buses. The lack of priority access for public transport to the electricity grid, coupled with existing agreements for electric bus procurement, creates a conflict between environmental goals and practical limitations. This highlights the need for better grid planning and prioritization of essential services.

What immediate impact does the electricity grid congestion have on the Netherlands' plan for emission-free public buses by 2030?

The Netherlands' goal of fully emission-free public transport buses by 2030 is jeopardized due to insufficient charging infrastructure. The limited electricity grid capacity prevents timely installation of charging points, forcing some transport companies to continue using diesel buses. This delays the transition and contradicts agreements made a decade ago mandating electric buses from 2024.

How do the report's findings challenge existing economic models and risk assessments used by financial institutions and governments?

The IFoA report connects the catastrophic impacts of climate change—fires, floods, droughts, and temperature rises—to a potential 50% decline in global economic growth. This projection stems from the failure of current risk assessments to account for tipping points, sea temperature rises, and climate-induced migration and conflict. The report argues that these omissions lead to inaccurate and dangerously optimistic economic predictions.
