NGO Press Briefing on Climate Change and Energy – Voices from Global South
This year’s Environment Ministerial meeting again committed to decarbonize the energy sector by 2035 and touched on the necessity of phasing out all fossil fuels. However, it did not agree on deadline for coal phase out and leave the loophole for new gas investment. Members from both domestic and international NGOs will share their expectations from the presidency and key demands for just energy transition.
