India a ‘good example’ as solar auctions gain popularity amid COVID-19 pandemic: UN chief
India is a “good example” as solar auctions have seen popularity amidst the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, UN chief Antonio Guterres said on Thursday, underlining that renewable energy is the only energy source expected to grow in 2020 and offers more jobs than the fossil fuel industry.
In his remarks to the International Energy Agency ‘Clean Energy Transition Summit’, UN Secretary General Guterres urged the international community to commit to no new coal and to end all external financing of coal in the developing world.
