May 18, 2021: All future fossil fuel projects would need to be scrapped if the world is to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and to stand any chance of limiting warming to 1.5C, the International Energy Agency said Tuesday.

In a special report, the IEA also said that the sale of all petrol- and diesel-fuelled cars needed to stop by 2035 in order to achieve carbon neutrality.
