A collaboration between University College London and IISD shows that existing fossil fuel capacity is sufficient to meet the 1.5°C-aligned energy demand. The article recommends a "No New Fossil Fuels" norm, which would prevent new fossil fuel exploration and extraction projects and the construction of new fossil fuel power plants. This new fossil fuel development ban would be easier politically, economically, and legally than closing operational projects early.
