With only 124 days left for the COP28 in the United Arab Emirates, COP President-Designate Sultan Al Jaber on Friday urged G-20 nations to take a leadership role on climate action and said that their decisions would have an enormous influence on the outcomes for all countries.
Addressing the G-20 Environment and Climate Sustainability Ministerial Meeting in Chennai, Dr. Al Jaber expressed his concern that his call at last week’s meeting in Goa to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 has “yet to find expression in G-20 outcomes,” despite its importance to the goal of keeping 1.5C within reach.
