COP28: A shared vision for a greener planet
COP28 marked a pivotal moment in addressing climate change, as nations committed to supporting vulnerable communities and transitioning away from all fossil fuels. Our active advocacy for tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030 reflects our unwavering commitment to sustainability, showcased through cutting-edge projects worldwide. We championed the Fossil to Clean campaign to phase out all fossil fuels and co-founded the Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA) to achieve net zero by 2050. Together, we can meet the 1.5°C limit and power a climate-resilient future. These goals are not mere aspirations but tangible roadmaps to a greener future we're building together.
Even though we are witnessing a surge in the adoption of renewable energy sources, it is evident that we will surpass the 1.5°C threshold unless everyone delivers an even stronger commitment towards achieving net-zero emissions. Energy transition needs to be accelerated even more.”
