“The priority must be to triple the capacity of renewable energies by 2030”, according to Guillaume Compain of the NGO Oxfam France

Emmanuel Macron wants to triple nuclear power by 2050. A desire that divides as COP 28 takes place in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) until Tuesday, December 12. Guest on the 12/13 info set, Saturday December 2, Guillaume Compain, responsible for Climate advocacy for the NGO Oxfam France, believes that the best solution to fight against greenhouse gas emissions and of to transform the energy system is the development of renewable energies. “Nuclear is an expensive energy, which takes time to deploy. The priority must be to triple renewable capacities by 2030 everywhere in the world”, he says. He also calls for the exit of “all fossil fuels” and welcomes the initiative of the Head of State on the exit from coal.

Positive but insufficient investments

While the Vice-President of the United States, Kamala Harris, announced on Saturday that 3 billion dollars would be allocated to the Green Climate Fund, Guillaume Compain speaks of moderate joy. “You should know that the United States has a much greater capacity. When we assess the needs of countries in the South to carry out their energy transition, adapt to climate change and deal with increasingly significant disasters, we are sure an order of magnitude of several thousand billion”he emphasizes.
