Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Speaking at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change currently underway in Glasgow on Tuesday, Prime Minister of Mozambique Carlos Agostinho do Ros\u00e1rio committed the country to achieving 62% of energy from renewable resources by 2030.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a priority for Mozambique to implement an energy transition program based on a diversified matrix, with cleaner and more environmentally friendly sources, in line with our country\u2019s development programs,\u201d the prime minister said, indicating investment in hydroelectric, solar and wind power.<\/p>\n

However, transitioning away from energy based on fossil sources entails costs, and must be a phased process.<\/p>\n

\u201cMozambique prefers an energy transition to cleaner and more environmentally friendly energies that is gradual and phased, in order to minimize the impact on the process of economic development in our country,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

In this sense, the country intends to make the energy transition process via natural gas, even though it is considered non-environmentally friendly, a decision influenced by the discoveries of great qualities of this resource in the national territory.<\/p>\n

\u201cMozambique proposes to use natural gas as a transition to cleaner energy sources,\u201d and with that, Carlos Agostinho do Ros\u00e1rio guaranteed that the country will do everything to \u201creach, by the year 2030, the levels of 62% of the contribution of renewable energies in the national energy matrix within the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mozambique PM at #COP26 \u201cWe are in favour of an energy transition\u201d \u2013 but need international support to achieve it<\/p>\n

We call for the mobilisation of more resources for resilience<\/p>\n

In comments at the climate change conference, Mozambique could not ignore the extreme events that have devastated the nation. Do Ros\u00e1rio reminded those present at COP-26 that \u201cwe are a country on the route of extreme weather events that are occurring in a cyclical and increasingly frequent and more intense way, such as cyclones, floods, and droughts\u201d.<\/p>\n

As an example, said the prime minister, Mozambique was affected in 2019 and 2020 by five cyclones, with cyclones Idai and Kenneth the most devastating. Those cyclones caused the loss of hundreds of human lives, affected more than 800,000 people and caused enormous social and economic damage estimated at more than US$3 billion.<\/p>\n

Carlos Agostinho do Ros\u00e1rio concluded that \u201cgiven the frequency and intensity with which extreme weather events occur in our country, our approach is focused on prevention, adaptation, mitigation, resettlement of the population facing development, building resilient infrastructure as well as water resources management, as provided for in our updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) which we launched yesterday [Monday] on the sidelines of this Summit\u201d. For this approach to become a reality, \u201cwe call for the mobilization of more resources, the softening of the criteria for accessing them and the transfer of technology\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The summit runs until the 12th of November, with the next 10 days set aside for technical meetings to fine-tune the details of the final Glasgow Agreement.<\/p>\n

Egypt has applied to host the COP-27, and Mozambique is supporting its candidacy.<\/p>\n
