Are green energy policies jeopardising the economies

The answer at the moment is very clearly no,

have implemented almost no green energy policies,

partly because, at least until the Paris accord,

they didn't really have any obligations to do so.

It was deliberately structured up to then as a system in which

the developed countries had obligations -

not that they did much - and the developing countries didn't.

Up until now, a lot of developing countries

for the developed countries to essentially say

we need to stop all the oil and gas industries

But that's completely unfair because the developed countries

have already taken all the benefit from energy extraction

and putting all that carbon into the atmosphere,

don't have the money to spend on alternative forms of energy?

It was widely thought that green energy sources,

expensive luxuries that really only rich, developed countries

That started to change quite dramatically since about 2015

when, for the first time the amount of global investment

in so-called new renewables, that's wind and solar power,

actually was larger in developing countries

in solar energy production and battery production.

One reason is they think this is going to be the new Industrial

It's the next stage in human development,

that if they're at the frontier of the new technologies,

ahead of everybody else, they move faster,

Over the last decade, China has committed something

like $780bn towards wind and solar energy.

But there are other developing countries that

In fact, last year, 29 countries joined the billion-dollar club.

That's countries that invested a billion dollars or more

into wind or solar power, and it's become much cheaper

It's not just cleaner, but it's actually cheaper.
