We Mean Business Coalition response to the joint meeting of G20 climate change and finance ministers
Gillian Nelson, Policy Director at We Mean Business Coalition
Gillian Nelson, Director of Policy, We Mean Business Coalition said: “The G20 has reiterated the language around the global need to shift away from fossil fuel production and use that was first agreed at Dubai. We now have certainty on the direction of travel to clean energy and economies from across governments, reaffirmed by Heads of State at the UN Summit for the Future and now Finance Ministers at the G20.
“With this week’s warning from the UN that we’re on course for a 3C warming world, there is no time to lose in putting thought-through, investable country climate plans in place, and working towards a new robust international climate finance goal at COP29 that will lay the foundations for accelerated private investment to bridge the funding gap for rapid fossil to clean transformation.”
