UN Secretary-General Says Climate Action Shouldn’t Adversely Affect Poor

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres says global climate action shouldn't come at the expense of developing nations. During the launch of the newly formed Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals, Guterres said the race to achieving net-zero carbon emissions shouldn't “trample over the poor.” The global transition to renewables will be dependent on critical minerals, the UN official said, and a significant portion of these minerals are located in emerging nations. While the demand for critical minerals is sure to create new employment opportunities, boost revenues and diversify national economies in these nations, Guterres noted that this is contingent on…

China Extends Global Lead in Africa’s Renewable-Energy Transition

Analysts say that China’s manufacturing overcapacity has granted it an edge over the United States in the African transition to renewables. Speaking at the recent Semafor World Economy Summit (WES), Center for Global Development senior fellow W. Guide Moore said the east Asian nation's “reported overcapacity” allowed its companies to offer renewable-energy firms in low-income countries with relatively competitive prices. Manufacturing overcapacity means that China’s production capabilities have far surpassed domestic demand, allowing local companies to export renewables infrastructure to African companies at prices they can afford. Stimulated by massive government subsidies, this overcapacity has granted China a significant lead…

Clean-Energy Jobs to Abound for Gen Z

While some have claimed that the green-energy transition could have a negative impact on American employment, the nascent renewable energy sector actually has the potential to provide plenty of employment opportunities for Gen Z. A recently launched initiative called the American Climate Corps is already providing young Americans with hundreds of employment opportunities in the emerging green sector. Inaugurated by the Biden administration in September 2023, the program will pay hundreds of Gen Z’ers in the country to help develop climate solutions across the country. The program will eventually facilitate the installation of more than 20,000 people in internships, fellowships…

Europe Now Has Two Countries Fully Dependent on Green Energy

Europe recently hit a major green-energy milestone after two nations in the region became fully dependent on renewables to power their energy grids. Figures from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) show that Albania and Iceland now source 99.7% of their electricity from either wind, geothermal, hydro or solar, making them almost completely reliant on green energy. Data compiled by Professor Mark Jacobson from Stanford University shows that Norway came close with 98.38% of its energy coming from either wind, solar or hydro. In all, 11 European nations generated at least one-half of their…
