🔥🌍Amidst a record-breaking heat, the #LondonClimateActionWeek took place from 20-26 June across the City of London. 💬 These takeaways from #LCAW2026 show the path forward is clear. If you found this useful, like & share to spread the word! #ClimateAction #BETD #EnergyTransition

Santa Marta Conference in April ➡️ shifting from fossil fuel commitments to implementation. 🔍 57 countries focused on “how to get it done.” Key points: • 3 work streams • coalition of the willing • focus on actionable roadmaps ❓ What matters most for speeding up the transition?

The energy crisis is powering up electric vehicle demand worldwide! 🚗 In 2025, 20 mio electric cars were sold globally. By 2035, annual EV sales are projected to reach 49 mio cars, marking a major shift for car markets and the energy system as a whole. Via @iea.org #BETD #EnergyTransition #EV

3 takeaways from the Petersberg Climate Dialogue 🌍⚡ • Renewables strengthen energy security • International cooperation is key ahead of COP31 • Electrification is the next major step of the transition More insights in our latest carousel. #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction #COP31 #BETD

🌍 The #BETD spirit continues in Berlin! On the eve of Petersberg Climate Dialogue, we’re hosting an exclusive evening reception bringing together global leaders, energy experts & decision-makers. An evening of exchange, networking & momentum for the energy transition ⚡ #ClimateDiplomacy

After more than a decade of this fruitful cooperation, the conference can no longer continue in its usual form in 2026. We look back with pride on the joint successes of this conference series and emphasize that partnership reasons play no role in this change. More info via: energydialogue.berlin
