冯德莱恩主席在二十国集团第三场会议上的讲话：能源转型和促进可持续发展

今天，我们都知道化石燃料会损害我们的气候和个人健康。

此外，化石燃料也给我们的许多经济带来了压力。

它已经伤害了世界各地的行业和家庭。

加快能源转型的充分理由有很多。

因此，去年 3 月，我们与国际能源署 （International Energy Agency） 一起发起了一项全球运动，以推动清洁能源转型。

众所周知，去年在迪拜举行的第 28 届联合国气候变化大会 （COP 28） 上，我们都承诺到 2030 年将可再生能源产能增加两倍，并将能源效率提高一倍。

这是我们能做出的最好的投资。

可再生能源是本土的，可以创造独立性，创造就业机会，它是清洁的，而且比化石燃料替代品更便宜。

实现我们在迪拜设定的这些目标，还将在十年内将全球温室气体排放量减少 100 亿吨二氧化碳，这比欧盟三年的总排放量还要多。

让我分享我们可以共同取得更多成就的三个领域。

首先，我们需要在每个大洲、每个经济体开展有形的项目。

例如，非洲拥有全球 60% 的最佳太阳能资源。

但与此同时，有 6 亿人缺电。

因此，现在是弥合这一差距的时候了。

这就是为什么我们与 Cyril Ramaphosa 合作，并与 Global Citizen 合作，发起了扩大非洲可再生能源规模的运动。

在南非担任 G20 轮值主席国和巴西担任 COP30 轮值主席国期间，我们将在这一年中集会，呼吁投资非洲的可再生能源。

其次，我们需要在三个关键推动因素上下功夫：

我们需要能源网。

根据 IEA 的数据，我们需要 2500 万公里的新电网和改进的电网线路才能实现全球目标。

我们需要稳定、合乎道德的矿产供应。

我们都知道，到 2030 年，全球对锂、钴和稀土等矿物的需求将增加两倍。

因此，开采和加工这些资源应该是可持续的，并且应该使当地社区受益。

附加值应该留在他们身上。

这样，生产国及其人民就可以充分地从他们土地上的财富中受益。

这就是由南非和欧盟共同主持的联合国关键能源转型矿物小组旨在实现的目标。

这项工作应该继续下去。

第三，我们需要投资。

欧洲正在投资。

仅在未来五年内，我们就将向发展中经济体投资至少 40 亿欧元用于可再生能源和氢能，这是我们全球门户计划的一部分。

但我们也知道，公共资金无法独自完成繁重的工作。

私人投资必须扩大规模，以适应这一转型的紧迫性。

因此，最后，为了实现我们的全球目标，我们需要更紧密的合作。

我们必须为持续对话创造一个空间，以确保这些目标的实施。

因此，将政府、国际组织和金融机构聚集在一起。

这就是为什么我邀请您与英国合作参加一个新的全球能源转型论坛。

英国将更加关注金融，我们将更加关注实施。

该论坛将定期召开会议，以保持势头并确保我们保持正轨。

这应该会在卢拉总统的领导下，在 COP30 上取得真正的进展。

Today we all know that fossil fuels harm both our climate and our individual health.

 In addition,  fossil fuels have also put a strain on many of our economies.

 It has harmed industries and families across the world.

 And there are many good reasons to speed up the energy transition.

That's why in March last year, together with the International Energy Agency, we launched a global movement to push the clean energy transition forward.

As you all know, in Dubai last year, at COP 28, we all committed to tripling renewable energy capacity and to doubling energy efficiency by 2030.

It is the best investment we can make.

Renewable energy is homegrown, creates independence, creates jobs, it is clean and is cheaper than the fossil fuel alternatives.

Meeting these targets that we set in Dubai, would also cut global greenhouse gas emissions by 10 billion tonnes of CO2 by the end of the decade - that is more than the European Union's total emissions, over three years.

Let me share three areas where we can achieve more together.

First of all, we need tangible projects on every continent, in every economy.

Africa, for instance, is home to 60% of the best solar resources globally.

But at the same time, 600 million people lack electricity.

So it's time to bridge this gap.

And this is why, together with Cyril Ramaphosa and, in partnership with Global Citizen, we launched the campaign to scale up renewables for Africa.

We will rally throughout the year of South Africa's G20 Presidency and Brazil's COP30 Presidency for investment in renewables in Africa.

Second, we need to work on three key enablers:

We need energy grids.

According to the IEA, we need 25 million kilometres of new and improved grid lines to reach the global targets.

We need stable, ethical supply of minerals.

We all know that the global demand for minerals like lithium, cobalt, and rare earths is set to triple by 2030.

Therefore, mining and processing these resources should be sustainable and it should benefit local communities.

The added value should stay with them.

So that production countries and their people fully benefit from the riches in their land.

This is what the UN Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals, co-chaired by South-Africa and the European Union aimed to achieve.

This work should continue.

And third we need investment.

Europe is investing.  

In the next five years alone, we will invest at least €4 billion in renewable energy and hydrogen in developing economies, as part of our Global Gateway initiative.

But we also know that public funds cannot do the heavy lifting alone.

Private investment must scale up to match the urgency of this transition.

So finally, to reach our global targets we need a much closer cooperation.

We have to create a space for a continuous dialogue, to ensure the implementation of these goals.

So bringing together governments, international organisations and financial institutions.

That's why I invite you, in cooperation with the United Kingdom, to join a new Global Energy Transition Forum.

The UK will focus more on finance, and we will more focus on implementation.

This forum will meet regularly to keep momentum and ensure we stay on track.

This should lead to real progress by COP30, under your leadership, President Lula.
