Phasing out fossil fuels is key to the cost of living crisis

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:43:42 GMT

Teresa Ribera is Spain’s Minister for the Ecological Transition of Spain and Vice President of the Government of Spain.The opening days at COP28 have left us in little doubt about the inadequacy of emissions reduction measures to meet the Paris Agreement climate goals — the warnings from the World Meteorological Organisation and UN secretary-general have been stark.The challenge facing us in Dubai is steep. But there is no doubt about the positive effect that the gradual reduction of fossil fuels will have on climate security when replaced with the rapid phase-in of limitless solar and wind energy.Clean energy sources are shattering growth records and reshaping the global energy economy, yet phasing out fossil fuels and its schedule is one of the most controversial issues on the agenda in Dubai. Resistance remains strong despite the available alternatives. Why?Some point to the concern many countries may have about the impact such a commitment could have on energy supply security or...

Russia’s ‘cynical’ actions at border aim to sow discontent, Finland says

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:43:42 GMT

Russia’s attempts to flood the Finnish border with migrants are “deliberate, cynical, hybrid actions” aimed at sowing anxiety and discontent, said Finland’s Minister of European Affairs Anders Adlercreutz. “It’s not really about trying to get a lot of people across the border,” Adlercreutz said in an interview Thursday. “It’s a proof of concept, making us aware that it views this kind of hybrid action as a tool that it can use, whenever it feels that it’s appropriate or needed.”On Tuesday, Finland completely closed its border with Russia for two weeks amid growing accusations that Moscow was encouraging asylum seekers to travel across its frontier into the EU and NATO country. Since then, Adlercreutz said, the “situation has calmed down,” with virtually no traffic at the border, which he called another indication that the actions were deliberate.While Adlercreutz said the number of migrants itself was not large enough to overwhelm Finland’s resources — approx...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 23:43:42 GMT

BRUSSELS ― The stars have aligned for Nadia Calviño to become the next head of the European Investment Bank. But the saga isn’t over and it’s getting a bit heated.As the Spanish finance minister’s supporters scramble to assemble a coalition of countries to turn a vote next week into a coronation, there are others ― notably those favoring her main rival, Margrethe Vestager ― still refusing to play ball.After months of consultations, Belgian Finance Minister Vincent Van Peteghem, as leader of the selection process, sent a letter to his EU counterparts on Thursday, endorsing the Spaniard for the role, POLITICO revealed. Officials say that while it remains unclear whether Calviño has the backing of the required 18 of the bloc’s 27 countries, let alone the consensus that governments originally wanted, Van Peteghem is trying to unblock the process by putting forward Calviño.“In case you object to this name, please formulate your objection in writing by Mo...
