I achieved a personal goal yesterday and finally hiked the #Gemmi pass from Leukerbad to Kandersteg in Switzerland. 25 km, 35000 steps, 7+ hours and 1023 vertical meters. Incredible, unforgettable, #Swiss experience!

"Renewable energy support is increasing but subsidies for fossil fuels are rising at an even higher rate. We need to urgently close this gap. Subsidies for fossil fuels are still 3-4x higher than for renewables," said @philgass at #GlobalRenewablesHub.

[IISD Energy @IISD_Energy]

Despite 📈 renewable energy investments, the 🌎 is not on track to 3x renewables by 2030.
