Perched at 3,730 metres above sea level in the community of Ancotanga, the Oruro solar power plant is one of the flagship projects in Bolivia’s energy transition. The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change tells us that by 2030 we have to reduce global emissions from the energy sector to 45%. What are we doing?

In 1970 in the Boston Globe newspaper, there was a scientist from the atmospheric research in Boulder, Colorado predicted that an ice age would be upon us by the 21st century. So in fact, what happened is China has the ability to continue emissions through at least 2030 before they even have to start reduction. That was in 1969.
