Billionaires, CEOs and unions push one climate message: Invest big for big payoff
From Kenyans leapfrogging from kerosene stoves to geothermal power and Israeli start-ups scrambling to improve battery storage, world leaders have shared stories of their own national drives to break free of climate-wrecking fossil fuels.
"We're gonna do this together," President Joe Biden exhorted on Friday (Saturday AEST), speaking live to a Zoom-style screen of leaders of national governments, unions and business executives around the world.
Mr Biden's message to close his global climate summit echoed the sentiments of Kenyan President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, who said: "We cannot win this fight against climate change unless we go globally to fight it together."
