  • Joe Biden
    Joe Biden “It's a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. I am working on a deal to end the fighting and build a lasting and durable peace. Leadership is about fighting through the most intractable problem. It's about channeling anger, frustration and heartbreak to find a solution. It's about doing what you believe is right, even when it's hard and lonely.” 2 hours ago
  • Sylvain Ekenge
    Sylvain Ekenge “An attempted coup d'etat has been put down by the defence and security forces. The attempt involved foreigners and Congolese. These foreigners and Congolese have been put out of action, including their leader.” 4 hours ago
  • Martin Griffiths
    Martin Griffiths “When very, very experienced humanitarian aid workers, who have been in all kinds of places around the world for decades, when they go to Gaza - to help, to serve, to work - it is traumatising for them. So, God help what it must be for the people of Gaza. It is really difficult and it's getting worse daily. We meet with Israelis daily through COGAT, the committee set up for this purpose. We have many detailed discussions with them about security, about the movement of our trucks and convoys, about the priorities for fuel, but the fact of the matter is, we are not in a position to provide proper aid to the people of Gaza. Right now, it's not ever been quite as difficult as it is today. Much more can be done and ideally, obviously and hopefully this [Israeli military] operation needs to stop.” 4 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “There are prospects [for a new Ukrainian counteroffensive]. First and foremost we need to stabilise the situation at the line of contact. As you can see, it is not stable. I would say this: it's their turn now. They need to be stopped, and we will stop them. Then we need the appropriate staffing for the brigades so that they can take the next counteroffensive step.” 21 hours ago
  • Giorgi Revishvili
    Giorgi Revishvili “Despite the Georgian Dream having the majority to override the veto, it was important for the president to make the move. The president rightfully said how it [foreign agent's law] is a Russia law and contradicts all of European standards. There is also a fundamental shift in the political landscape with the younger generation becoming increasingly involved in politics. The youth is the driving force behind these protests.” 21 hours ago
  • Salome Zourabichvili
    Salome Zourabichvili “Today I set a veto … on the law, which is Russian in its essence and which contradicts our constitution.” 21 hours ago
  • Mohammed Jamjoom
    Mohammed Jamjoom “What we're seeing more and more of in the past few days is that there is a huge amount of disagreement amongst war cabinet members about the plan going forward for Gaza. And this echoes also the concerns by US government that has said repeatedly that Netanyahu needs to try to figure out a plan for a post-war Gaza scenario.” 21 hours ago

“Looking at the extent of the destruction in Ukraine right now, it's very hard, in my view, to make the case that we shouldn't be moving into the [Russian] energy sector, particularly oil and coal.”

“We were disappointed with the last-minute change to the language around coal. I think we were quite disappointed, as well as other Pacific island countries, with that last-minute change. It's basically the survival of countries like Tuvalu (at stake).”

“The end of coal is in sight. The world is moving in the right direction, standing ready to seal coal's fate and embrace the environmental and economic benefits of building a future that is powered by clean energy.”

“This [cutting carbon emissions by 40 percent from 2018 levels by 2030] is a bold objective that was raised by about 14 percentage points from the previous target. This is a very challenging task of having to steeply reduce greenhouse gases in a short period of time. It is not an easy task, but South Korea has decided now is the time to act. Following the inauguration of our government, eight coal-fired power plants were shut down. By the end of this year, two additional plants are scheduled to close. We will put a complete end to coal-fired power generation by 2050. Moreover, official financial support for the construction of new coal-fired power plants overseas has already been suspended.”

“It is not about whether China can be less reliant on coal eventually, it is rather about what will happen to a province like ours afterwards. As an activist, of course I'd like to see my home town move away from coal. After all, I grew up only knowing the sky is grey and coal is the only source of energy. But I also worry what will happen to a province whose economy overwhelmingly depends on coal and heavy industries, and the millions of people whose livelihoods are reliant on them. You see, the addiction to coal is not just on a national level, but also on a personal level. It's not easy to move away from. A lot of people here, including another relative of mine, are unhappy with [media] talk of climate change and the [the government's] effort to reduce coal consumption. To us, this is bread and butter. Without it, what would Lüliang look like? They need to start to prepare for a coal-free future right now before it's too late.”

“Global regulators, banks and investors are making ideological rather than market-based investment decisions around coal, which will still have solid demand in the coming decades.”

“I know that the power station switched over to coal and no longer uses gas. It informs the enterprises that disruption can appear in the supply of power as from Mondays, October 11. The station can inform about a halt in the supply of power even tomorrow. It's clear that all the energy resources of the Russian Federation are used as an instrument of economic blackmail that turns into political blackmail. It is not accidental that this letter appeared today, when we have two delegations of the Republic of Moldova in the Russian Federation.”

“China was the last man standing. If there's no public finance of coal from China, there's little to no global coal expansion.”

“China's climate progress is filled with irony and has been two steps forward, one step back. It is the biggest manufacturer, investor, and developer of renewable energy on one hand, but single-handedly burns half of the world's coal.”

author
Senior climate adviser with the environmental group Greenpeace

“China's energy structure is dominated by coal power. This is an objective reality. Because renewable energy (sources such as) wind and solar power are intermittent and unstable, we must rely on a stable power source. We have no other choice. For a period of time, we may need to use coal power as a point of flexible adjustment.”
