Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, COP28 President-Designate, addresses Conference of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) in Port of Spain "The world must now bring pace and scope to the climate challenge. We need transformational progress, not incremental steps. And we need to challenge old models of doing things if we want different results." "We are determined to make COP28 a COP of Action and Solidarity, a COP that unites all and delivers for all." "We have just seven years to cut emissions by 43 percent, live up to the Paris Agreement and keep 1.5 within reach." "We need to shift gears across mitigation, loss and damage, and of course climate finance." "We must fast-track a just and equitable energy transition that leaves no one behind, triple renewable energy capacity and double hydrogen production." "We must protect nature, enhance food and health systems, and upgrade adaptation responses." "This means delivering the global goal on adaptation and doubling adaptation finance." "Finance underpins everything. It is essential, of course for the fund and funding arrangements for loss and damage." "We need to bring everyone to the table from across the financial community, using every tool available, to take a holistic approach to a global challenge." "This COP will continue to put finance and IFI (International Financial Institution) reform at the top of the international agenda." "We need to keep the pressure on donor countries to deliver the $100 billion pledge that they made over a decade ago. This must be finalized this year, so that we can tackle a broader systematic issue." "The current international financial architecture is not fit for purpose. Climate finance is nowhere near available, accessible or affordable enough." "At COP28, the Caribbean region will have a critical role in bringing countries together and contributing to a consensus-driven approach across every climate pillar." "The Caribbean community, with CARICOM as its unifying voice, can help marshal support for ambitious negotiated outcomes and a transformative action agenda."

ABU DHABI, UAE, July 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- COP28 President-Designate, Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, today addressed the Conference of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) in Trinidad and Tobago, where he said Caribbean nations will play a critical role at COP28 in aligning support for climate action, and that old models must be challenged to ensure that climate diplomacy delivers results for Caribbean nations. "At COP28, the Caribbean region will have a critical role in bringing countries together and contributing to a consensus-driven approach across every climate pillar," Dr. Al Jaber told delegates. "The Caribbean community, with CARICOM as its unifying voice, can help marshal support for ambitious negotiated outcomes and a transformative action agenda. Working in solidarity, we can deliver a just energy transition that embraces clean technologies, without sacrificing energy security or national prosperity." The COP28 President-Designate paid tribute to the work of Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados, in driving climate finance reform for vulnerable countries across the Global South. "As Prime Minister Mottley said in Paris, the world must now bring pace and scope to the climate challenge," he said. "We need transformational progress, not incremental steps. And we need to challenge old models of doing things if we want different results." With just seven years to go to achieve the Paris Agreement goals, "we need to shift gears across mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage, and of course climate finance," Dr. Al Jaber stated. "We must fast-track a just and equitable energy transition that leaves no one behind, triple renewable energy capacity and double hydrogen production. We must protect nature, enhance food and health systems and upgrade adaptation responses." Doing the latter will require "delivering the global goal on adaptation and doubling adaptation finance," the President-Designate said. "Finance underpins everything. It is essential, of course for the fund and funding arrangements for loss and damage. And this COP will continue to put finance and IFI (International Financial Institution) reform at the top of the international agenda." The President-Designate said "we need to keep the pressure on donor countries to deliver the $100 billion pledge that they made over a decade ago. This must be finalized this year, so that we can tackle a broader systematic issue." "The current international financial architecture is not fit for purpose," he stated. "Climate finance is nowhere near available, accessible or affordable enough. MDBs (Multilateral Development Banks) are not supplying sufficient concessional funds that can lower risk and attract much more private capital and finance." "This must change, and we need to bring everyone to the table from across the financial community, using every tool available, to take a holistic approach to a global challenge," Dr. Al Jaber said.

Closing 100bn is a first of many steps needed to support the Global South COP28 President congratulates leadership of President Emmanuel Macron for bringing the world together again, to push for a new deal to level the financial playing field. Summit shows "willingness to move beyond words to action" For countries that have done the least to cause climate change, climate finance remains unavailable, inaccessible, and unaffordable. Changing that equation requires trillions in private investment, not just billions in multilateral loans. low-income countries get only 2% of clean energy investment, and less than 10 percent of the $120 billion a year baseline requirement. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, COP28 President-Designate, meets global political leaders, including Emmanuel Macron, President of France, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, Mia Motley, Prime Minister of Barbados and Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, at Summit for a New Global Financing Pact in Paris. COP28 will bring everyone together who can make a positive difference. Governments, Businesses, NGOs, and critically the financial community. "Climate change sees no division between North and South. It is a global problem, and it requires a true global solution. It does not discriminate between peoples or countries. It is a global challenge that will require a global response from everyone, working together, only in unity and solidarity." PARIS, June 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- COP28 President-Delegate, Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, addressed the New Global Financing Pact Summit in Paris and welcomed progress to unlock climate finance while calling on delegates to go further. During the New Global Financing Pact Summit in Paris, the COP President met with key global and climate leaders, including Emmanuel Macron, President of France, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, Mia Motley, Prime Minister of Barbados and Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, to discuss climate finance reform. The summit, led by President Macron and Barbados Prime Minister Mia Motley, is targeting global financial reform, and driving more financial resources towards climate action and supporting the most vulnerable communities. Clean energy investment in low-income countries represents less than 2 percent of global investment in the sector, and less than 10 percent of the $120 billion a year that is the baseline requirement, the President-Designate said at the summit. "We need to bring everyone to the table across the financial community and use every tool in the shed," he stated. "We need to take a comprehensive and a holistic approach to a global challenge, view climate action as an opportunity, not as a burden, and act together with unity of purpose." On finance, Dr. Al Jaber reiterated the need for developed nations to meet their historic commitment to provide finance for developing countries, adding that "Donor countries are finally closing in on their promise of the 100 billion in climate finance for the Global South. And I repeat, that must be delivered this year. But let's face it, these are barely band aids, or painkillers, to a problem that requires major surgery." "For countries that have done the least to cause climate change, climate finance remains unavailable, inaccessible, and unaffordable," Dr. Al Jaber said. "Changing that equation requires trillions in private investment, not just billions in multilateral loans." Discussing ways to unleash more private capital, Dr. Al Jaber said, "The key to attracting more private finance and capital is simply lowering the risk. Radically raising the level of concessional funding is one of the keys to unlocking commercial investment." With the summit focused on finance reform, Dr. Al Jaber attended a roundtable on private capital mobilization, hosted by Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank Group; Mark Carney, Co-Chair for Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero and UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance; and Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund. At the roundtable, Dr. Al Jaber said, "Climate finance is nowhere near available enough, accessible enough and affordable enough – especially for countries in the Global South. To make finance more available, we need to figure how to attract much more private capital into the investment pool. Private capital is the force multiplier that can really change the game when it comes to effective climate finance. To make financing more accessible, we need to simplify, speed up, and standardize access to climate funds across international financial institutions and specialized funds. And to make finance more affordable, we must drive transparency and price discovery. We must give all market participants the tools and mechanisms that narrow the gap between perceived risk and actual risk when it comes to investing in emerging and developing economies. We need to shift the narrative that views climate finance as a burden and recognizes it as an economic opportunity." Following a roundtable on Voluntary Carbon Markets, Dr. Al Jaber said, ""Voluntary carbon markets have the potential to be a powerful enabler in financing decarbonization efforts across industries, cities and entire economies, especially in emerging and developing economies. In order to achieve their potential, we must enhance the credibility of carbon markets and ensure that the highest-integrity standards are firmly in place. This can only be done through collaboration between governments, organizations, and civil society to create a supportive regulatory environment, establish a level playing field, and raise universal standards. By working together, acting in unity and focusing on integrity, the value of this vital tool in our collective decarbonization efforts will increase." The President-Designate also attended a session hosted by the Forest and Climate Leaders' Partnership, focused on forestation and nature conservation. Over the course of his trip, Dr Al Jaber also held private meetings with numerous industry leaders including: HE Anne Tvinnereim, Norwegian Minister of Intl. Development, Patrick Pouyanne, CEO of Total, Catherine MacGregor, CEO of Engie, Agnes Pannier-Runacher, French Minister of Energy Transition, Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock, Bruno le Maire, French Minister of Economy and Finance, Madame Colonna, French Minister of Foreign Affairs. Dr. Al Jaber concluded his three-day visit with additional meetings including Nirmala Sitharaman, Indian Minister of Finance, Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, Fatih Birol, Executive Director of IEA and John Kerry, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate. In his closing remarks, Dr. Al Jaber emphasized the urgency to act now and deliver; "We know what we are trying to solve, and we know the gaps at hand. To do that, we must be practical, and we must focus on the how. Let's translate our words into real and tangible actions. Let's work in lockstep towards our common goal. Climate change sees no division between North and South. It is a global problem, and it requires a true global solution. It does not discriminate between peoples or countries. It is a global challenge that will require a global response from everyone, working together, only in unity and solidarity. If we act in true unity, we can apply pace and scope to deliver action and hope."

The approval of PDP8 is a significant step towards greater energy security and reliability and the achievement of Vietnam's net-zero 2050 goals HOUSTON, May 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Capital Vietnam (ECV), a project development and holding company established as a platform for direct investment into energy and infrastructure within Vietnam, applauds the approval of PDP8 by the Vietnamese government led by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. PDP8, developed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT), will more than double Vietnam's power generation capacity to 150 GW by 2030 from the 69 GW in use in 2020. Gas is poised to become Vietnam's primary power source by 2030, supplemented by renewable energy, offering reduced emissions and improved environmental impact over coal. This puts Vietnam's declared goals for net-zero carbon by 2050 within reach. "We are delighted that Prime Minister Chinh has approved PDP8," said David Lewis, Chairman and CEO of Energy Capital Vietnam. "PDP8 is designed to ensure energy security and reliability during a period of rapid economic growth for Vietnam. It supports the development of cleaner power generation while equipping the Government with new legal tools to manage their licensing process better, improving accountability through market feedback, including the private sector. This plan opens the door for foreign investment. It reflects the government's thoughtful deliberation and analysis on how best to allocate their scarce resources towards areas and efforts that yield the highest impact. We applaud the dedication and hard work across the Government, including MOIT and its numerous departments." ECV is developing large, integrated multi-phase LNG power projects to support Vietnam's energy transition. Additionally, in consultation with the Vietnamese government, ECV is developing a comprehensive, replicable, and socially impactful pathway for reducing the LNG power emissions 'wedge' through simultaneous investment into a portfolio of domestic, high-quality carbon assets. This will significantly reduce net emissions from gas-fired electricity on a trajectory towards net-zero. "We look forward to continued collaboration alongside the Government and our financing partners, including Maius GmbH, to establish a framework for a bankable LNG power purchase agreement (PPA) in Vietnam that reduces risk to meet both the needs of the private sector and the Vietnamese Government," said Lewis. "ECV is dedicated to providing Vietnam with practical, high-quality solutions to major infrastructure investment." About ECV:Energy Capital Vietnam (ECV) is a Houston, Texas-based project development and holding company established as a platform for direct investment into Vietnam's energy and infrastructure sectors.
