Green hydrogen is often framed as the fuel of the future.
From a development lens, the question is what it delivers, for whom, and at what cost. It delivers shared value, local jobs, and inclusive growth only if it is intentionally designed.

With four years to 2030, the path ahead is challenging, but full of opportunity. Progress is possible when ambition is matched by action and partnerships deliver tangible results.
Financing for development and implementation of the Sevilla Commitment are crucial to accelerating progress.
In this regard, I want to highlight the importance of holding a special meeting on debt. Supporting the most vulnerable countries means addressing the debt burden that annihilates their efforts and restricts their development. 🔗bit.ly/4yFDErb #FinancingOurFuture #GlobalGoals #SDGs #2030Agenda

La transición energética debe ser, antes que nada, transición justa. La energía es hilo conductor que conecta crecimiento económico, equidad social y sostenibilidad ambiental. Sin acceso equitativo a electricidad, se compromete salud pública y limitan oportunidades de desarrollo.
