Programs: Global energy transitions-helping the people of emerging economies to leapfrog straight to the clean energy revolution. China program-supporting china in reducing its emissions and following a clean energy pathway. We aim to help china peak carbon emissions by 2030 and, with government and other partners, support china as it reduces its carbon intensity 60% by 2030. Continued on schedule o:islands energy program-accelerating the transition of island economics from a heavy dependence on fossil fuels to efficiency and renewables. We aim to accelerate the transition to renewables in 13 island caribbean countries, install 95 megawatts of renewable energy, and leverage $300 million in financing for island energy projects by 2020. Sustainable energy for economic development (seed)-helping governments in sub-saharan africa expand access to clean, reliable electricity. We aim to help six african countries expand electricity access with clean technologies by 2020. Shine: community-scale solar-making solar energy affordable and accessible to all by unlocking the community-scale solar market. We aim to help community-scale solar reach its 30-gigawatt market potential.

electricity-creating a clean, resilient, and affordable electricity system that produces less pollution and climate-altering co2. Regulatory and business model reform- working with utilities and state regulatory commissions to evolve business and regulatory models and advance more sophisticated electricity rate structures. We aim to support three to five states that are committed to comprehensive regulatory and business model reform to drive a renewably powered electricity system by 2020. Continued on schedule o:disruptive technologies- raising awareness of and support for emerging disruptive technologies that promise to deliver more transparency and efficiency, and lower operating costs to customers and the electricity grid as a whole. We aim to unlock the potential of disruptive technologies that are emerging to make the energy grid more transparent, efficient, and cost-effective. Electricity innovation lab (e-lab)- convening critical industry players to identify promising reform approaches and strategize on how to scale them effectively to transform the electricity system from the inside out. We provide a groundbreaking change lab to support innovation, collaboration, and the acceleration of the ideas that will transform the electricity system from the inside out. Sunshine for mines - rapidly accelerating on-site renewable energy at mining operations around the globe. Business renewables center (brc)- streamlining and accelerating corporate purchasing of large-scale wind and solar energy. We aim to help corporations procure 60 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030.

transportation-changing the way we move people and goods to save money and the environment. Mobility transformation-implementing cost-effective oil- and emissions-free mobility to save money and oil, and drastically reduce carbon emissions. We are accelerating the adoption of electrified, autonomous mobility services in four to six u. S. Cities by 2020, to eventually save $1 trillion annually. Continued on schedule o:trucking efficiency-driving down the carbon footprint of getting people their everyday products by increasing efficiency in the trucking industry. We are getting 30% of large fleets and small owner-operators to demand fuel-efficient trucks by 2018. Shipping efficiency-increasing the demand for fuel-efficient vessels. We aim to drive a 25% improvement in the fuel efficiency and carbon footprint of global commercial shipping fleets by 2025. Sustainable aviation-reducing the aviation industry's carbon footprint through the use of sustainable aviation fuels. We aim to help 10% of the north american and european commercial aviation and jet fuel market switch to sustainable aviation fuel by 2025.
