The International Energy Agency today at the 16th Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP 16) in Mexico called on countries worldwide to increase efforts to implement clean energy solutions. “Despite the positive steps taken last year in Copenhagen, we must achieve a lower emission path”, said Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director of the IEA. The world is currently not on track with the ambitious target to limit global temperature increases at 2 degrees Celsius (°C) above pre-industrial level which was a key objective in the Copenhagen Accord. COP 16, running from 29 November to 10 December, aims to find solutions to global climate change.
