@MikeBloomberg opening the summit stating that even though we are making progress - "we have shut down 70% of EU coal" - we are not moving fast enough. RE investment needs rapidly scaling and into the right regions- stating that Africa only receives 3% of global RE investment.

For those of us in industry, @LouBurrows7 says, the benchmarks drive positive ambition in both government targets and industry action.
They help provide a better idea of the policy environment and inform our planning for the next 5-10 years, she says.

The goal of tripling renewables by 2030 is one of the key levers to meeting the 1.5°C goal.
If we want to turn this goal into action, we need clarity at the national level, says @_neil_grant at the launch of our 1.5°C compatible wind and solar benchmarks.

The results of the Government's latest renewable energy auction are out - and it's good news!
Over 130 new renewable energy projects will be going forward. & not just wind & solar, but tidal stream projects too
Enough to power 11 million homes

Concerns from unions about the way that this transition plays out are understandable. But be wary of oil & gas companies decrying the lack of proper transition planning--the industry basically wrote the current transition plan for the sector, the North Sea Transition Deal...

🚀 The new Labour govt is not messing around —exciting news on lifting the onshore wind ban.
This boosts energy security, economy, jobs, and efforts to meet net-zero. Important to note the significant public support behind this decision too, as highlighted by @nathansbennett 👇
And finally - just to say, this decision is a popular one.
DESNZ's public attitudes tracker has support for onshore wind at around 78%.
A recent poll by Savanta found that 74% back rapid overturning of effective ban for new onshore wind after election.
And support's been rising for a while now. Around a third of people said they're more supportive of onshore wind than they were five years ago.

Wow, that was quick.
The effective ban on onshore wind farms in England has been lifted, just a few days after Labour took power.
Planning barriers cut, so "onshore wind applications will be treated in the same way as other energy development proposals"
