Opening the #EnergyActionDay, the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, underlines the urgency of taking action to meet the #SDGs and goals of the #ParisAgreement.
Decarbonising the energy sector is one of the most crucial tasks to meet our #globalgoals. Today’s #EnergyActionDay plays an important role in raising ambition under #HLDE2021.
Science shows us the environmental, health & socio-economic benefits of #EnergyTransition.
We know how to go there, as the technologies are available to help us. Now it's up to us to make the choice, now." - @IRENA@flacamera said during the Opening Plenary, #EnergyActionDay.
Speaking at the #EnergyActionDay, @SharanBurrow - General Secretary of @ituc, highlights the importance of an inclusive approach, and leaving no one behind for achieving a just transition.
In this critical decade, we must deploy existing #netzero technologies as soon as possible. But we also need to scale-up emerging technology like #greenhydrogen through policy action, says Melanie Nakagawa, @WhiteHouse Special Assistant to the President #EnergyActionDay#HLDE2021
At #EnergyActionDay, @COP26 President @AlokSharma_RDG emphasises the urgency to leave coal behind.
"Science shows us that we must consign coal to history to halve global emissions by 2030. Ahead of #COP26 we need gov'ts to make the commitment to put an end to int'l coal finance"
The @UN SG Special Envoy for Climate Ambition & Solutions, @MikeBloomberg, reminds us that although #EnergyTransition is moving forward, progress is not fast enough. It is up to all stakeholders to fix that through immediate collective #ClimateAction to leave #fossilfuels behind.

"Development is not the big issue here – both on the engine and fuel side. The problem is the business case. So far it makes no financial sense to build zero emission ships." – Jakob Steffensen, @DFDSGroup Head of Innovation & Technology #IVIW2020
“#Aviation contributes 2-3% of CO2 emissions, but takes decarbonising very seriously. There's no silver bullet to eliminate our impact, we need a series of solutions: batteries; fuel cell tech; & H2 combustion engines—a #renewables surrogate.”—@Airbus’s Glenn Llewellyn #IVIW2020
