Accelerating the Energy Transition

Hon. Dr Maina Vakafua Talia, Minister of Home Affairs, Climate Change and Environment of Tuvalu, intervened at the COP30–IEA–UN High-Level Energy Transition Solutions Dialogue in New York.

Minister Talia emphasized that energy efficiency must be regarded as essential infrastructure and a lifeline for communities enduring extreme heat, high energy bills, and fragile infrastructure.

He noted that methane is an important piece of the puzzle, where its reduction can slow sea level rise, decrease the severity of storms, and reduce heat waves.
