CHINA, FRANCE COMMITMENT

CHINA, FRANCE COMMITMENT

WNN - 06 November 2019 - China and France today reaffirmed their commitment to the Paris Agreement and called for worldwide action on combating climate change and halting the loss of biodiversity.

In a joint statement on biodiversity and climate change issued by the Élysée Palace two days after the USA began the process of its withdrawal from the 2015 accord, French President Emmanuel Macron and Chinese President Xi Jinping said they had reaffirmed their "strong commitment to enhancing international cooperation on climate change to ensure full, effective and UNFCCC guided implementation of the Paris Agreement", which they see as an "irreversible process and a compass for strong action on the climate".

France and China are "resolved to make unprecedented efforts to secure the future of future generations, to intensify international efforts to combat climate change and accelerate the transition to green, low-carbon and climate resilient development", the statement said.

It then lists 19 points of global action, including a call for countries to communicate or update their nationally determined contributions, "up from their current level and reflecting the highest possible level of ambition".

The statement was issued during Macron's second state visit to China. During the trip, the two countries signed contracts worth a total of USD15 billion.

2040: GLOBAL ENERGY DEMAND WILL UP BY 25%
Global demand for energy is forecast to increase from nearly 286 million barrels of oil equivalent a day (mboe/d) in 2018 to more than 357 mboe/d in 2040, with average growth of about 1% p.a. In this period, energy demand in non-OECD countries is expected to increase by almost 75 mboe/d, while demand in the OECD is estimated to drop by around 3 mboe/d.

GLOBAL CLEAN ENERGY DOWN
Current geopolitics, rife with politicization, trade wars and sanctions, will make sustainable energy goals "extremely difficult," said Eirik Waerness, Equinor's senior vice president and chief economist.

CLEAN NUCLEAR POWER
Globally, nuclear power is a leading source of clean electricity today - second only to hydro - but many nuclear power plants in advanced economies are facing retirement as they approach the end of their original 40-year design lifetime, Birol said. Without additional lifetime extensions or new projects, nuclear capacity in advanced economies - primarily in the USA, the EU and Japan - would decline by two-thirds by 2040, substantially as a result of political issues and inadequate market design, he added.

RENEWABLES WILL UP BY 50%
the world’s total renewable-based power capacity will grow by 50% between 2019 and 2024. This increase of 1,200 gigawatts – equivalent to the current total power capacity of the United States

RENEWABLE ENERGY BENEFITS
As the IRENA Director-General Francesco La Camera said recently at the International Energy Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: “It is perfectly possible to generate sufficient cheap, reliable energy from renewable sources. Not only is it possible, but it is also our best option, as it would bring higher socio-economic benefits than business as usual, and it would allow us to effectively address climate change.”

NUCLEAR POWER FOR CLIMATE
“I’m worried about the decline of nuclear in the energy mix if governments don’t change their policies,” Birol said referring to new capacity and lifespan extensions.
