UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for the world’s leading nations to put clean energy policies at the heart of their COVID-19 recovery plans.<\/p>\n

Guterres addressed a major summit looking at green-energy transitions, hosted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The countries representing the vast majority of global GDP, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions all took part in the online meeting.<\/p>\n

Representatives discussed how to boost economies, create jobs, and reduce global emissions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Guterres was the lead speaker and said the time has come for a significant policy change from the world’s leading nations.<\/p>\n

“Many have still not got the message,” he said. “Some countries have used stimulus plans to prop up oil and gas companies that were already struggling financially.<\/p>\n

“Others have chosen to kick-start coal-fired power plants that do not make financial or environmental sense.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The ministers who joined the call represented countries accounting for almost 80 percent of global energy consumption and global carbon emissions, including the U.S. and China.<\/p>\n

At the talks, Washington’s representative was Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette, who laid out how the country has grown its economy while simultaneously reducing energy-related carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

The IEA also says the world needs to pay attention to Beijing because energy policy decisions taken there have implications for the rest of the planet.<\/p>\n

“Clean-energy transition post-COVID-19 is a complicated undertaking,” said Zhang Jianhua, the director of China’s National Energy Administration.<\/p>\n

“Despite the myriad challenges that we are faced with, we are sure that the pandemic will bring more attention to fighting climate change and optimizing the energy mix.”<\/p>\n

The pandemic has provided the world with a unique experiment as nations imposed lockdowns that shuttered shops, closed factories and stopped all-but-essential air travel.<\/p>\n

That led to a drop in emissions and the IEA wants to see governments reset their future priorities towards a green agenda.<\/p>\n

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) estimates a 4 percent drop in carbon dioxide emissions this year because of the global lockdowns.<\/p>\n

But WMO boss Petteri Taalas says the drop in emissions will only bring a temporary respite, not a permanent change.<\/p>\n

“Since the lifetime of carbon dioxide is so long, it does not have any impact on the concentration in the atmosphere, so there may be a little bit of a slowdown of the emission growth, but it does not change the big picture.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
