France operates 56 nuclear power reactors, which make up over 70% of the country’s electricity generation. It has a smaller per capita carbon footprint than most developed countries. “France is already a world leader in low carbon energy generation, and nuclear energy has a major role to play in that,” Mr Grossi said.

"Nuclear power enables rapid decarbonisation on a massive scale, and it has the track record to prove it."

Converting national and regional natural gas networks to hydrogen could be a powerful decarbonisation solution, by distributing the gas to millions of individual users across the country,

FERC's latest monthly "Energy Infrastructure Update" report (with data through September 30, 2021) reveals that renewable energy sources accounted for 87.61% - or 16,665 megawatts (MW) - of the 19,022 MW of new capacity added during the first nine months of the year.

Germany will also support the extension of carbon trading to providers of heating and transport, and the introduction of a CO2 border adjustment mechanism at the EU level.

The rapid reduction of emissions necessary to cope with climate change will have a huge impact on Vietnam’s energy industry, and is possibly closely linked to short-term policies to develop new and renewable energy sources,

US support for nuclear energy has grown 10 percentage points from 2018 to 2021, with 59% overall now saying they are strongly or somewhat in support.

Solar and wind currently account for less than 1% of the country’s installed capacity, with 4 MW and 1 MW, respectively.

“Expanding the benefit of nuclear science, especially to less advantaged communities, is not only the right thing to do, but it also helps build trust in the nuclear sector. Consider joining us in advancing the beneficial uses of nuclear science and technology across the world,” said IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi.

Around 80% of this is expected to come from the private sector, with debt financing growing to a 60% share within that, IRENA deputy director-general Gauri Singh said.

"A total of 8 to 16 coal-fired power plants will be offline from Dec. 1 to Feb. 28 as part of efforts to reduce fine dust emissions in the winter period," the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said in a statement.

"I can confirm to you we will launch new projects on all types of energies especially renewable energy and hydrogen. We clearly want to be hand in hand in the fight against climate change."

Providing consumers in underdeveloped and remote regions of Russia with reliable, high-quality and environmentally acceptable energy sources with a capacity of up to 400kW, designed for operation in extreme natural and climatic conditions, is a priority task for development of the Russian Arctic.

Abu Dhabi’s sovereign fund Mubadala will not change its investment strategy in 2022, keeping a focus on renewables, technology, and life sciences, its CEO Khaldoon Khalifa Al-Mubarak said.

China's total trading volume of greenhouse gas voluntary emissions reduction had exceeded 334 million mtCO2e, with turnover approaching Yuan 3 billion (approx. $469 million),
