Preventing further climate change means a global fossil fuel phase-out must happen by 2050. Climate change mitigation scientists Sven Teske and Saori Miyake analysed the potential for renewable energy in each of the G20 countries. They concluded that the G20 is in a position to generate enough renewable energy to supply the world. For African countries to benefit, they must adopt long-term renewable energy plans and policies and secure finance from G20 countries to set up renewable energy systems. 1-258838 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 12:12:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Sustainable Development South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/how-green-building-certification-boosts-real-estate-profits-259407a Climate change is often framed as a distant problem for governments to solve, but in reality, the property sector holds one of the biggest levers for impact.
