Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets.

Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.

Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The fossil fuel age is flailing & failing.

We're at the dawn of a new & clean energy era.

An era where cheap, abundant, renewable energy powers a world rich in economic opportunity.

We have the tools to power the future for humanity.

This is our moment of opportunity.

Ex CEO of @Allianz Investment Management explains how #climate = end of insurance as we know it...

'we are fast approaching temperature levels—1.5°C, 2°C, 3°C—where insurers will no longer be able to offer coverage for many of these risks'

[Ed King @edking_I]

Blunt from @SwissRe. If you want to tackle #climate, take the transition seriously.

'Mitigating climate change requires the global real economy to transform. That’s one of the reasons why Swiss Re supports clients in the transition to a net-zero economy'

A historic deal to shift $41 billion per year out of fossil fuels to clean energy could be agreed tomorrow IF Korea stops blocking. @President_KR, @mofa_kr, Korea must join with other countries and agree on an OECD deal to #StopFundingFossils: https://t.co/Dd6vj167xX

With its ambitious 2035 emissions-reduction target, just announced by PM Starmer at COP29, the UK is stepping up at a time when leadership is most needed.

AirFrance: @airfrance your business practices are atrocious and inhumane. Overbooking and then depriving passengers of essential legroom - with zero notice - is just plain wrong. Abysmal. Bottom of the barrel. #DontFlyAirFrance

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Today we see runaway conflicts & climate change.

Runaway inequalities & debt.

Runaway development of new technologies without guardrails.

The upcoming Summit of the Future is a step towards global mechanisms to address these issues in an effective, networked & inclusive way.

“Whereas agriculture, forestry, and land-use change combined account for about 18 percent of global emissions, they represented more than three-quarters of Brazil’s between 2000 and 2020.” https://t.co/0d31GwPuLq

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I was deeply moved by my meeting with coastal communities in Samoa forced to move their homes inland.

Sea levels are rising at a rate not seen in at least 3,000 years.

If we don’t reverse these climate change trends, we will see this tragedy in other coastal areas globally.
