Nuclear energy – The solution to climate change?

Nuclear energy – The solution to climate change? S cience Dir ect, NikolausMuellnerNikolausArnoldKlausGuflerWolfgangKrompWolfgangRennebergWolfgangLiebertI Institute of Safety- and Risk Sciences, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria Received 24 August 2020, Revised 7 April 2021, Accepted 4 May 2021, Available online 16 May 2021.  Abstract With increased awareness of climate change in recent years nuclear energy has received renewed attention. Positions that attribute nuclear energy an important role in climate change mitigation emerge. We estimate an upper bound of the CO2 saving potential of various nuclear energy growth scenarios, starting from our projection of nuclear generating capacity based on current national energy plans to scenarios that introduce nuclear energy as substantial instrument for climate protection. We then look at needed uranium resources.

G7 should end not just coal but also oil and gas finance in 2021

Any views expressed in this opinion piece are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation. Ahead of summit, more than 100 economists call on G7 countries to commit to shift their finance out of all fossil fuels this year, to enable a green pandemic recovery On June 11-13, world leaders will gather at the G7 summit. There, they plan to adopt an agenda to “build back better from coronavirus and create a greener, more prosperous future”. We, the undersigned economists, believe that this means decisively shifting finance out of fossil fuels, and into clean alternatives worldwide. We welcome the decision taken last month by G7 environment ministers to end international finance to coal-fired power in 2021. We call on G7 leaders to go further and shift their finance out of all fossil fuels in 2021.
