The renewable energy transition relies on critical #minerals , such as copper, lithium, nickel & cobalt. These minerals are an opportunity to create jobs and diversify economies - but only if managed well. More about the new @UN Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals 👇

Developing countries cannot be shackled to the bottom of the clean energy value chain. Today, I launched my Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals to address transparency, sustainability & human rights across the value chains of these materials.

#G7 leadership in #climateaction is more vital than ever. The largest developed economies can and should make bolder strides on deeper emissions cuts & bigger climate finance. G7 leadership is essential, if we are to avoid a global economic disaster. 👉

We need a quantum leap for #climatefinance . The recent progress is helpful. But not enough. My message to G7 ministers next week: Mobilize ministers across your governments. Push development banks for more. Unlock more finance. 👉

We need to start embedding climate change #adaptation as a way of life. Only 54 developing countries have a National Adaptation Plan (NAP). The @UNFCCC and partners will support the other 100 developing countries in formulating their NAPs and identifying the needed funding.

Climate finance drives climate action. The @WorldBank and @IMFNews Spring Meetings are an essential milestone on the way to set a robust and ambitious financial goal at #COP29 in Baku. Climate action is not a cost and a burden. It is an investment in our future.

How do we track progress on climate action? This year, countries must submit their first-ever Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs), assessing progress made under the Paris Agreement. But what exactly are BTRs & why are they critical to global #ClimateAction ? #ClimateLingo

Climate change threatens our health through: 🌫️ Air pollution 🌪️ Extreme weather ⚕️ Mental health pressure and more Every fraction of a degree of warming we prevent could save millions of lives through reductions in air pollution alone. Let's act for a healthier future!
