Fahad Saeed explained to Mongabay why Pakistan is victim to compounding climate extremes. “Pakistan’s vulnerability is due to its geography. In 1,600 kilometers of latitudinal distance, Pakistan has the [world’s] second-highest peak in the north, to low-elevation land in the south. Any change in global climate impacts Pakistan the most.”

“The IEA has, consistently over the last couple of decades, way underestimated how fast renewables are growing,” said Robert Brecha, a senior climate and energy adviser at Climate Analytics, a global climate science and policy institute, who was not involved in either the Ember or IEA report. “I don’t see any reason to believe that renewables won’t double by 2030.”

“We are in the foothills of an energy transition that is going to reshape fossil fuel demand,” said Dr Neil Grant. “But many governments are thinking in terms of a world where the energy transition happens very incrementally. There’s a lot of danger, [including that] the voice of the fossil fuel lobby only gets louder and holds us back from this change to a cleaner, better, greener economy. That would lead to climate chaos or significant negative economic impacts.”
