Roberto Cingolani, Italian minister for “ecological transition,” said the G20 is split on climate policies and “it will be difficult to reach an agreement” at the G20 Energy meeting to take place next week in Naples.
Cingolani is in favor of “climate protection” policies, but warned that the net zero “transition must have a specific timing. If we are too slow, we will fail as homo sapiens, but if we are too fast we will fail as a society.” Furthermore, there is “a second issue to be considered: We must face global inequalities, which do not make transition easy at global level. We are relatively lucky, because we can talk about reconversion, hydrogen, green mobility ... but what about the other 3 billion people on the planet who have more urgent problems? We must find common rules and support emerging countries.”
