And that is keeping 1.5 within reach.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>The plan includes tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030, deploying technologies for hard-to-abate industries and launching critical dialogues with multinational organizations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dr. Al&nbsp;Jaber made critical calls to action and highlighted key efforts already underway:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>He urged the world to accelerate the &#8220;inevitable&#8221; and &#8220;essential&#8221; phase down of fossil fuels, calling for the tripling of renewable energy output to 11,000 gigawatts, the doubling of energy efficiency measures, and the doubling of hydrogen production to <span class=\"xn-money\">180M<\/span> tons per year&nbsp;by 2030. He also called on NOCs and IOCs to zero out methane emissions by 2030.<\/li>\n<li>He called for a &#8220;comprehensive transformation&#8221; of climate finance instead of &#8220;piecemeal reform.&#8221; There should be a special focus on supporting &#8220;climate-positive development&#8221; across the Global South, to ensure that developing nations can have access to affordable and available climate finance to drive a just transition.<\/li>\n<li>The <span class=\"xn-money\">COP28<\/span> Presidency is already working with the IMF, the World Bank and GFANZ to unlock the power of the capital markets, standardize voluntary carbon markets and incentivize private capital and finance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>To help the world&#8217;s most vulnerable withstand the impact of climate change, Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Al Jaber<\/span> called on donors to double adaptation finance by 2025, emphasizing the urgency for donor country governments to honor their commitments and&nbsp;close out the <span class=\"xn-money\">$100 billion<\/span> pledge this year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Putting lives and livelihoods at the heart of the climate process, he shared his intention to advance the world&#8217;s focus on nature, food, health and resilience as part of a robust framework for the Global Goal on Adaptation.<\/li>\n<li>He called on governments to integrate National Food System Transformation plans into both their NDCs and National Adaptation plans, and to participate in the first climate-health ministerial at <span class=\"xn-money\">COP28<\/span>, on what will be the first day devoted to health at a COP. <span class=\"xn-money\">COP28<\/span> is currently partnering to convene this with the WHO, together with <span class=\"xn-location\">Germany<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Kenya<\/span>, the UK, <span class=\"xn-location\">Egypt<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Brazil<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Fiji<\/span>. &nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>This <span class=\"xn-money\">COP28<\/span> will be the most inclusive yet, featuring the largest ever youth climate delegate program and a pavilion for Indigenous Peoples, to tap into their concerns and wisdom as they protect 80 per cent of the world&#8217;s biodiversity.<\/li>\n<li>Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Al Jaber<\/span> underscored the need to break down the silos between traditional and emerging energy sectors, announcing the launch of a series of integrated dialogues between the IEA, UNFCCC, and IRENA where specific actions on fast-tracking the energy transition can be agreed.&nbsp;The first meeting is in <span class=\"xn-location\">Goa<\/span> at the G20 Clean Energy Ministerial later this month.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pointing to the expected findings of the Global Stocktake on climate change, which will be published later this year, he said the world had to &#8220;unite, act and deliver&#8221; to solve the climate crisis. He called on all stakeholders to &#8220;partner around this shared opportunity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Al Jaber<\/span> said: &#8220;Let&#8217;s mobilize to deliver supercharged solutions and ambitious outcomes.
