After a two-day virtual meeting, ministers pledged to collaborate \u201cto encourage dialogue to help mobilize public and private investment in various energy sectors\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Discussion of energy efficiency and renewables was put in the context of a &#8220;circular carbon economy&#8221;, with equal weight given to reusing and removing carbon dioxide from the air.<\/p>\n<p>Saudi energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.com\/node\/1709941\/business-economy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">insisted<\/a> when he set out the circular carbon strategy earlier this year: \u201cCarbon is not the enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The G20 communique described it as \u201ca holistic, integrated, inclusive, and pragmatic approach to managing emissions that can be applied reflecting country&#8217;s priorities and circumstances\u201d.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/09\/03\/countries-promise-green-recovery-japanese-virtual-summit-keep-quiet-fossil-bailouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Countries promise green recovery<\/strong> at Japanese virtual summit, keep quiet on fossil fuel bailout<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Climate campaigners criticised the emphasis on commercially unproven technology, saying it was a way for oil-rich Saudi Arabia to justify unsustainable use of fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Circular carbon economy is clearly a Saudi priority,&#8221; said Enrique Maurtua Konstantinidis, G20 campaigner at Climate Action Network (Can). &#8220;While the concept looks noble, the idea puts a particular attention to the use of the carbon capture use and storage, geoengineering practices that are heavily criticized by civil society due to the yet unknown environmental impacts and the distraction it creates from the real solution, which is reducing emissions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eddy Perez from Can Canada told Climate Home this year&#8217;s G20 chair Saudi Arabia was &#8220;stuck in the past and unable to accept the green and just transition [to clean energy] that is already well under way&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;At a moment where decisive action is expected from leading economies to respond to the health, economic, social, climate and biodiversity crises, Saudi Arabia has managed to make the G20 irrelevant and disconnected from the reality of this year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ivetta Gerasimchuk, of the International Institute for Sustainable Development, said the G20 has become less and less ambitious since it started hosting summits in 2008. The energy ministers&#8217; joint statement, she said, &#8220;just lists what countries are doing anyway, rather than what they should be doing&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/07\/14\/saudi-arabia-censors-fossil-fuel-subsidy-discussion-g20-host\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Saudi Arabia<\/strong> censors fossil fuel subsidy discussion as G20 host<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Arab News, which is closely linked to the Saudi government, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.com\/node\/1740601\/business-economy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a> some European countries pressed for a stronger stance against fossil fuels but the Saudis&#8217; \u201cmore inclusive stance on hydrocarbon resources\u201d was supported by Russia and the USA.<\/p>\n<p>At G20 meetings on agriculture and the environment, ministers failed to agree a joint statement due to similar divides over climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on this, Germany\u2019s agriculture minister Julia Kl\u00f6ckner, said by email: \u201cThe younger generations expect the agriculture ministers to speak out about climate change. No other sector has been hit as hard by climate change as the agricultural sector.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energypolicytracker.org\/region\/g20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Energy Policy Tracker<\/a>, G20 nations have committed $206 billion to sectors linked with fossil fuel production and consumption in coronavirus stimulus packages. Only $137bn has been earmarked for sectors linked with the production and consumption of clean energy.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2009, the G20 has repeatedly pledged to remove fossil fuel subsidies. That was not mentioned in the latest statement.<\/p>\n<p>In July, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/07\/14\/saudi-arabia-censors-fossil-fuel-subsidy-discussion-g20-host\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Climate Home revealed<\/a> that the Saudi authorities were uncomfortable with the word \u201csubsidies\u201d and sought to remove it from policy briefs produced by ostensibly independent research groups. They preferred a phrase with no established definition &#8211; \u201cfossil fuel incentives\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The G20 leaders\u2019 summit will be held online in November 2020 before Italy takes over the G20 Presidency. Perez said he \u201clook[s] forward to an Italian G20 presidency who will seize its opportunity to preside over the forum representing 80% of the global economy to present a much more relevant, ambitious and safer vision for a world responding to multiple subsequent crises.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Neglecting to mention climate change or commitments to end
