.@IlaPatnaik: The next industrial revolution cannot be based on #fossil questions. The question is how can we meet the #SDG goals while shifting to a greener economic system.
.@AHuitfeldt: #Norway is a large producer of oil & gas; going forward, we will develop our #fossilfuel industry but we will invest the revenues from these sources to finance #renewableenergy.
.@MathiasCormann: We need a globally coordinated and coherent approach to financing the #greentransition; we need a massive scaling up of investment in #cleanenergy and we need to leverage both public and private sector investment.
.@MathiasCormann: There needs to be more consistency and integrity from the private sector in financing the #greentransition, with clear objectives on what investments are actually green. The whole gamut of investment opportunities needs to be tapped.
.@anuahsa: We are not treating the #climatecrisis as an emergency, the #pandemic showed us that resources can be brought to bear when the political will is focused on solving a crisis.
.@amitabhk87: There is no shortage of finance in the world, it is the lack of political will that hinders action, richer nations have to step up their efforts to solve this crisis.
.@amitabhk87: India has the size and scale to become a leader in green technologies. The developed countries have not lived up to their promise of #low-cost finance, despite this, #India has become a leader in the #energytransition.
.@AHuitfeldt: The #energytransition has a national security dimension. We need to head for a #renewable future that is based on local production of energy, this has to be a driver for increased actions for a rapid #greentransition.
.@MathiasCormann: There is an increase in #ESG investment, but different ESG investments are not comparable due to a lack of standards. Investors want the consistency to assess what are #green investments, therefore, standards must be implemented quickly.
.@MathiasCormann: There is a significant need for investment in #innovation and R&D and faster technology transfer from the developed world to the developing world.
.@amitabhk87: The growth of #renewables in India has been driven by the private sectors and new entrepreneurs. The top class entrepreneurial spirit in India will be a driving force in the #energytransition in India.
.@GeoffreyOnyeama: The #IndiaAfrica Forum Summit (#IAFS) process is aimed at developing a precise roadmap that responds to the priorities of #African countries. #India can share its technological know-how which will boost our substantial partnership.
.@LynnKuok: The #US has put working towards a common cause with its closest allies at the centre of advancing its national interest. The strength of the US as well as its partners matter.
.@carlbildt: If you look at the handling of the #Russia crisis, we are flying together. We are closer than in the past, covering all aspects of #security. There is a significant strengthening of #NATO and #transatlantic aspects of security.
.@RVlahutin: We have gone through multiple crises in the last few years—but they have served as great catalysers. We have seen how the #EU is shaping its response to these crises, and the EU is now at a moment of reckoning. #Raisina2022
.@RVlahutin: Infrastructure is a strategic tool & we have to treat it like that. Connectivity is not just primarily about things like railways, but it is also about the system of values underpinned by transparency, stability & the ability to make sovereign choices
With #Raisina2022 in full swing, @orfonline is delighted to announce the #RaisinaEdit— a selection of commentaries that unpack, interpret, & problematise contemporary global developments.
A key reason for the growth of the passion #economy is that it offers alternative ways of making money, innovative paths toward professional fulfilment & unprecedented career opportunities, writes @utkarsh_amitabhor-f.org/103498
Kwati Candith Mashego-Dlamini: In #SouthAfrica, we have space for #women & struggle side by side with men. #Women need to be seen as individuals. Empowerment of women is not a side agenda, but we need to focus on how we can help them have their own space & strength. #Raisina2022
.@ctgchatter: We require political will, affirmative action, and policy changes to empower #women. I believe, empowered women, empower women.
