Investing in clean energy, IEA = International Energy Agency released a report saying that the climate change measures that each country has set out are not enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to virtually zero by 2050. We urged the acceleration of measures to more than triple the number in the next 10 years.
On the 13th, the IEA released a report analyzing global warming countermeasures in each country ahead of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change Countermeasures "COP26" to be held in the United Kingdom from the end of this month.

He points out that countries need to more than triple their investment in clean energy over the next decade.
Through these investments, by 2050, the market size of clean energy such as lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells will expand to 1 trillion dollars a year (more than 110 trillion yen in Japanese yen), which is comparable to the current oil market, and at the same time, hundreds. It is supposed to create new jobs for everyone.
In a report, IEA Executive Secretary Virol urged countries to accelerate measures, saying that "the social and economic benefits of accelerating the transition to clean energy are significant and the cost is immeasurable if nothing is done." I did.
