In a move that environmental advocates cautiously celebrated, the pair agreed earlier this month to work together to try to triple renewable energy capacity globally by 2030. After decades of stalled negotiations on this front, there was finally a breakthrough at last year’s COP. But (why is there always a but?!)

Leaders of the world's biggest economies have today signalled their continued support for an ambitious outcome from the tense on-going climate negotiations at the COP27 Summit, emphasising their support for capping global warming at 1.5C, ramping up climate finance, cutting back on coal power, and phasing out fossil fuel subsidies.

"As current events make all too clear, our continued reliance on fossil fuels makes the global economy and energy security vulnerable to geopolitical shocks and crises. Instead of slowing down the decarbonisation of the global economy, now is the time to accelerate the energy transition to a renewable energy future.".

We need immediate action on energy. Countries should also end all new fossil fuel exploration and production, and shift fossil fuel subsidies into renewable energy. By 2030, solar and wind capacity should quadruple and renewable energy investments should triple to maintain a net zero trajectory by mid-century.

It was the first time the majority of nations formally recognized the need to control greenhouse gas emissions , which cause global warming that drives climate change. That agreement set the goal of limiting global warming to “well below” 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F), and preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Scientists have made clear that global emissions cuts of 45 per cent by 2030 are needed to stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5C, yet UN analysis suggests that present national commitments would see emissions rise by 16 per cent by the end of the decade, compared to 2010.
