It was a privilege to deliver remarks at the 11th edition of the annual Energy Summit, where I emphasized that Europe’s leadership has never been more essential.   The world is facing a decisive moment.   Europe must choose: accelerate the shift to clean, secure, homegrown energy — or remain vulnerable to crises they cannot control. Grid upgrades, affordable finance, resilient supply chains & a just transition aren’t optional. They’re the path to stability.   The moment to accelerate is now.   #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy  #ClimateAction

For decades, dependence on fossil fuels meant dependence on volatility. In past oil shocks, countries had little choice but to absorb the pain.  Now they have an exit ramp: Homegrown renewable energy has never been cheaper, more accessible, or more scalable. The resources of the clean energy era cannot be blockaded or weaponized. There are no price spikes for sunlight & no embargoes on the wind.   The fastest path to energy security, economic & national security is clear: Speed up a just transition away from fossil fuels & toward renewable energy.

At the @IndiaUNNewYork roundtable on Pathways for Just Energy Transitions the the Global South today, one message is clear: The clean energy transition is here. For developing countries, it’s a once‑in‑a‑generation chance to cut import dependence, spark new industries, and lead global supply chains. We can’t let short‑term noise drown out long‑term opportunity. #ClimateAction #energyTransition

We have entered the age of clean energy. Almost everywhere around the world, renewables are now the cheapest, fastest & safest source of new electricity. Together, let’s cut emissions, strengthen energy security, power development & build lasting stability.

I recently met with leaders from across India’s renewable energy ecosystem, listening to different perspectives from industry, finance, policy & civil society. The message was clear: The clean energy future is within reach – but we need a system-wide transformation to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels.

Renewables are now the cheapest, fastest, and safest source of new electricity almost everywhere. Clean energy companies, financial institutions & industry leaders must accelerate deployment & increase investments – for a transition that is fast, fair & reaches every community.

Pleasure to meet with UN Assistant Secretary-General for Climate Action @SelwinHart at IEA HQ to discuss global energy trends, the importance of expanding energy access & ensuring good outcomes at COP31 in Antalya I thanked him for contributing to the #IEAMinisterial’s success

The world’s addiction to fossil fuels is one of the greatest threats to global stability and prosperity. Renewables are no longer the future — they are the present. They are the cheapest, fastest & safest source of new electricity almost everywhere. Now we must match ambition with action: 📈 Scale investment 🤝 Align finance with 1.5°C 🌍 Ensure a just transition for all #IEAMinisterial #ClimateAction

The world’s addiction to fossil fuels is one of the greatest threats to global stability & prosperity. That’s why I am calling for a dedicated global platform to deliver a fair, orderly, affordable transition plan away from fossil fuels aligned with 1.5 degrees objectives. Let’s make the clean energy transition unstoppable.

Always a pleasure to collaborate with the Clean Energy Ministerial Secretariat and its dedicated leader Jean‑François Gagné. Amid rising geopolitical uncertainties, CEM’s work is more vital than ever in helping countries accelerate the energy transition. One thing is clear: the clean energy transition is irreversible — and unstoppable. #ClimateAction #IEAMinisterial

Renewable energy is the engine that can drive a just & equitable transition away from fossil fuels. The roadmap is clear: we must triple global renewable capacity by 2030. A clean energy future is within reach.

Climate change is inflaming tensions over resources, forcing people from their homes & tearing at our ecosystems. Vulnerability anywhere becomes a risk everywhere – for financial systems, supply chains & global stability. That's why climate justice is an investment in peace.

The clean energy transition is unstoppable and irreversible. But while technology races ahead, infrastructure lags far behind. We must act now to build energy systems fit for the 21st century & unlock the full power & promise of renewables. un.org/sg/en/content/…

"We need to ensure that no one is left behind and that the transition is fair and just, and delivers on the dignity of life," said Mr. Selwin Hart, Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Climate Action and Just Transition, United Nations, underlining the critical role of international collaboration in accelerating the #energytransition.

At the Bharat Climate Forum in New Delhi. The energy transition isn’t idealism — it’s economic strategy and security. Fossil fuels are a structural risk, especially for import‑dependent nations. For India, clean energy is macroeconomic reform and a path to competitiveness and it's showing what leadership looks like — scaling renewables, driving down costs, building clean industries, and shaping global cooperation. The transition is inevitable; the upside goes to early leaders. #ClimateAction #BharatClimateForum

“The energy transition is inevitable, unstoppable & irreversible. The economy is on our side”: Assistant Secretary-General for Climate Action @SelwinHart at the #BharatClimateForum in New Delhi 🇮🇳, lauding #India’s rapid scale-up of renewable energy.
