‘Renewables cornerstone of India’s energy security’

India, China, Indonesia, South Korea, Germany, and the UK are among countries that have been leveraging the renewable energy transition as a cornerstone of energy security, Simon Stiell, the UN Climate chief said on Thursday at opening of the COP31-International Energy Agency High-Level Energy Transition Dialogue.

Renewables offer safer, cheaper, cleaner energy that can’t be held captive by narrow shipping straits, or global conflicts, Stiell emphasised.
