Industrial decarbonisation is a critical pillar of the #energytransition, accounting for 37% of total final energy use and one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions.

This new @seforallorg.bsky.social paper outlines pathways for sustainable industrial growth.

With schools being the second-largest consumers of biomass energy after households, clean cooking solutions are vital.

I am really pleased with the launch of the Platform for Clean Cooking in Schools at #COP30 to accelerate #cleancooking in schools globally.

Millions of people around the world live without reliable access to energy.

I recently sat down with CGTN's Elaine Reyes to discuss the effort to bring modern energy to all.

Today is #WorldFoodDay!

Every year, 13 percent of all #food produced is lost before it even reaches consumers, much of it due to inadequate refrigeration and inefficient cooling.

Let us push for clean, efficient and #climate-friendly #cooling solutions for all.

I joined global leaders for the official opening of @climateweeknyc.bsky.social.

I highlighted that the age of #cleanenergy is here, where today, for example, in every region, solar power is the cheapest source of new electricity—cheaper than coal, cheaper than gas, cheaper than oil.

A new report shows that if we do not raise ambition, 896 million #women could lack access to #cleancooking fuels and technologies by 2030!

We need to work at speed and at scale to achieve universal access to clean cooking fuels and technologies by 2030.
