The result is that countries in the Global South have not been granted the necessary funds to adapt to climate disasters or to effectively reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions. When you account for inflation, the new target of $300 billion barely exceeds the previous global commitment that was set in 2009.

After 30 years of international negotiations failing to mention the root cause of the climate crisis, the acknowledgement that we must phase out all fossil fuels and massively scale up renewable energy in order to effectively tackle the climate crisis, was both long overdue and extremely significant.

But rather than ramping up the use of polluting fossil gas, this is the perfect moment for the province to transition to clean and safe renewable energy. But the agency was caught skewing information , suppressing modeling that supported renewable energy options and showed that their use would actually reduce consumers’ costs. .

The European Green Deal and the proposed European Climate Law reinforce the EU’s goal to achieve “net zero” emissions by 2050, meaning that the EU will emit no more greenhouse gases than it removes from the air (for example through reforestation). insufficient renewable energy targets) or “delivery gaps” (i.e.,

A report commissioned by the Ontario Power Authority (now the Independent Electricity System Operator) identified 64 potential offshore wind power sites in the Great Lakes that could produce nearly 35,000 MW of electricity which is 50 per cent more than our current energy demand. This is completely doable. And it would cost a lot less too.

Modeling from Evolved Energy Research (where our panelist Jeremy Hargreaves is a principal) and Princeton University shows that reaching the IRA’s full potential for greenhouse-gas reductions will require transmission capacity to grow at a rate of about 2.3% per year—double last decade’s growth rate.
