And that’s a wrap! I leave you with this from António Guterres:

“The fossil fuel age is failing. We are in a new energy era where cheap,clean,abundant energy powers a world rich in economic opportunity. But it won’t happen on its own. Not fast enough. Not fair enough. It is up to us.”

2. Build the energy systems of the 21st century.

For every dollar spent on renewables, just 60 cents goes to grids and storage. These investments need to be on par to build the infrastructure of the future.

So here’s the Secretary-General’s six point plan for the movers and shakers in this audience to double down on clean energy and make the transition faster and fairer:

BUT. There’s a big but. Well, a couple.

The transition away from fossil fuels to renewables isn’t fast enough, and it isn’t fair enough.

Fossil fuel elites are buying politicians to maintain business as usual (he said it more tactfully), and RE isn’t reaching all who need it.

Some countries are saving a bunch of money with clean energy. Why? Because it reduces their reliance on expensive volatile fossil fuel markets. Gas prices increased 5x in the UK in 2022 alone!

Plummeting costs mean that solar and wind are now the fastest growing sources of electricity in history.
🎯In 2024, renewables made up 92.5% of all new electricity capacity additions and 74% of electricity generation growth.

The room is packed full of ambassadors from all over the world. We start by hearing about how incredibly affordable renewable energy is.
☀️Solar energy is now 41% cheaper than coal, oil, or gas.
💨Onshore wind energy is 53% cheaper than fossil fuels

I’m in New York for UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ special address on climate. He has a hopeful story amidst the chaos and loss of climate disaster. Stick with me to follow his speech, and check out the report his comments are based on!
