they are doing day today and being cop president and also because doctor salter and has a long history of working on renewables and i think the end of the day they are judged by what they deliver, what are the outcomes that come at the end of these summits dr sultan. i think that s what we re looking at and working for. at and working for. that s pick u . at and working for. that s pick u- one at and working for. that s pick up one of at and working for. that s pick up one of the at and working for. that s pick up one of the objectives - at and working for. that s pick| up one of the objectives you ve set out which is looking at the pace and scale of when the world shift away from fossil fuels towards more sustainable and renewable economies. what is your view? what is the clear objective? do you have a date? i think the intergovernmental panel on climate change, the world s kind of scientific body, has different dates for sectors. germany the date for coal phase out is 2030 whi
what is your clear objective? have you got a date? i think the intergovernmental panel on climate change, the world s scientific body, has different dates for sectors. germany, for example, the date for coal phase out is 2030. that s what we re working towards in germany, is to phase that out. it s a bit later in developing countries, emerging economies, like 2040. i think fossilfuels, you re looking at moving into 2040, 2050, but it s pretty clear we already have too much fossil fuel infrastructure. the scientists have told us we can t build new fossil fuel infrastructure, so we really need a course correction right now. that s why we have to build up the renewables component while we re phasing down fossil fuels step by step. you say the scientists tell us that we shouldn t build new fossil fuel infrastructure. so are you, then, of the firm view that countries in africa, for instance, that have discovered oil and gas shouldn t be given any investment? because i tell you why tanzani
To meet climate targets, progress in energy efficiency must be doubled by 2030. In this way, the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees could be kept within reach. More energy efficiency creates jobs, reduces energy costs, air pollution and countries' dependence on fossil fuel imports. The transition to efficient electrification through the gradual phase-out of traditional combustion of biomass such as charcoal and wood for heating and cooking also brings benefits – for example in terms of better air quality and health.
