The CLANER executive made these statements in the framework of the International Climate Change Congress, held in Jerez, in which the organisation representing Andalusian renewables has had a relevant participation ‘due to the leading role and international leadership that Andalusian companies have been playing for decades in the field of clean energy sector, with an essential contribution to global climate objectives’.
In this sense, Alfonso Vargas has especially highlighted the contribution of renewables in the decarbonisation of the energy model to stop the increase in the average global temperature of the planet. ‘A process of change that is urgent and unstoppable and in which clean energies play a crucial role in this transformation from an outdated and harmful system to the current efficient, ecological and sustainable model’, he pointed out.
In his speech, Alfonso Vargas shared a round table discussion, moderated by the Secretary General for Energy of the Andalusian Regional Government, Manuel Larrasa, with the Spanish Government’s Secretary General for Energy, Manuel Larrasa, and the Andalusian Regional Government’s Secretary General for Energy, Manuel Larrasa,

The President of CLANER took the opportunity to thank the Andalusian Regional Government and, in particular, the Regional Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment ‘not only for the enormous effort they have been making to meet the challenge of reducing emissions, but also for the fruitful and necessary coordination between the regional administration and the clean energy industry sector to achieve environmental objectives and sustainable developments that are common to all of us’.
