Decarbonising amid geopolitical tensions
Manage episode 398770383 series 3312121
The energy transition is taking place in a complex world of ongoing historic geopolitical tensions and financial divides between countries. Lisa Fischer from climate think tank E3G joins the Watt Matters team to discuss decarbonisation policymaking in a complicated and adversarial world.
The world needs to decarbonise if it is to limit drastic global warming. However, this is happening in the context of growing conflicts and a varying list of priorities and ideologies.
With 2030 targets now just around the corner, richer nations need to show that the energy transition is possible and help make finance available to enable global change. All the while they need to ensure that they don’t get bogged down in overdependence on fuels, unreliable supply chains and stranded assets.
This requires a carefully planned approach to the energy transition that brings everyone along for the ride. In this episode, Lisa Fischer, programme lead at climate think tank E3G, joins the Watt Matters team to discuss navigating the decarbonisation pathway in a complex world.
