Eide comments on Glasgow summit climate deal: “A big step in the right direction”
Minister of Climate and Environment Espen Barth Eide (AP) is pleased that the final declaration from the climate summit in Glasgow was finally adopted.
“The climate summit in Glasgow is a big step in the right direction. The countries of the world agree that we must strengthen our efforts to reach the 1.5-degree goal.
“We need an even faster transition to renewable energy and technology,” Eide noted in a statement.
“On the way there, the world must phase out coal and stop using fossil subsidies. It is a collective responsibility for everyone to contribute to ensuring a viable climate in the future.
“At the same time, we will support the developing countries’ ability to meet and combat climate change,” he accentuated.
