UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that no interest group can impede the transition to a clean energy future after a meeting with global leaders, including China’s Xi Jinping. The summit emphasized the urgent need to address the climate crisis while China aims to establish itself as a reliable superpower amidst US unpredictability. The meeting did not include the US, which is struggling due to impacts from the global trade war initiated by Trump's administration. China's controls on critical materials for clean energy also pose significant implications for global energy technology.
Antonio Guterres emphasized that no government or fossil fuel interest can hinder the pursuit of a clean energy future, highlighting the shift in science and economics.
The virtual summit highlighted China's growing role as a stable superpower and economic partner for developing countries, contrasting sharply with the unpredictability of US leadership.
