Are we seeing the beginning of the end of coal, oil, and gas
financing?
Sonia Dunlop, a real third-generation environmentalist, brings
optimism to our climate change discussion and explains why the
Paris Agreement was a game-changer in the global climate landscape.
We discuss financial instruments that are available to retire high
carbon infrastructure because of the savings on energy bills. We
discuss the role of energy efficiency, solar PV, batteries, and
electric vehicles: the dramatic price reductions in all of these
and their unimaginable impacts ahead.
Why should countries be more ambitious in updating their national
climate action plans to transform their economies? The new set of
NDCs as part of the Paris Agreement could form part of the
“blueprint” for COVID-19 recovery. We hope the COP26 climate
conference in Glasgow in November 2021 will see more ambitious
targets for 1.5 degrees and 2 degrees, finance, and global
cooperation on a greener recovery.
