Africa: COP31 - Energy Transition Takes Centre Stage As Countries Map Path Beyond Fossil Fuels
Guterres pressed countries to set funded national plans by 2028 as Brazil said its voluntary roadmap can guide the shift from fossil fuels.
- At the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference in Antalya, Turkey, Brazil presented a roadmap for moving away from fossil fuels, aiming to help nations translate global commitments into actionable national plans.
- UN Secretary-General Guterres warned that fossil fuel dependence is an 'increasingly expensive liability,' noting the European Union paid more than €100 billion in additional import costs as prices surged across 130 countries.
- Across the globe, around 2,500 gigawatts of power projects await grid connections, while COP31 host Turkey launched its '35-by-35' initiative to increase electricity's share of energy consumption to 35 per cent by 2035.
- According to Deborah Anumenechi, Managing Director of Green Protocol Nigeria, federal climate frameworks must be translated into state-level priorities, as states require greater financial and technical support to adapt national commitments to local realities.
- Keith Zondi, KwaZulu-Natal's Member of the Executive Council for Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs, advocated for a pragmatic transition, warning that abandoning existing energy sources without economic consideration could cause collapse.
