  • Igor Grosu
    Igor Grosu “The plebiscite is a chance for Moldovans to show loudly and clearly that we are Europeans. ... We are not entering Europe, we are returning to it.” 18 hours ago
  • Maia Sandu
    Maia Sandu “Joining the EU is the best thing we can give this and future generations.” 18 hours ago
  • Igor Dodon
    Igor Dodon “We are categorically opposed to this referendum. We are not saying 'no' to talks with the EU and we are not opposed to the EU. We oppose Sandu using it as an instrument for her own interests and those of her party. We are therefore asking voters during the campaign not to take part in the referendum.” 19 hours ago
  • Ben Hodges
    Ben Hodges “Since the fall of Avdiivka in Ukraine's east on February 17 [2024], its forces have oozed forward, swallowing several villages, as Ukrainian forces have performed tactical retreats. Here we are in April [2024], and [the Russians] are oozing out. Why is that? I think it's because that's the best the Russians can do. They do not have the capability to knock Ukraine out of the war. Russia lacked the ability to equip large armoured formations that could move rapidly, with supporting artillery, engineers and logistics. I don't think it exists. That's why I feel fairly confident that the mission for [Ukrainian] general Oleksandr Syrskyi for the next several months is to stabilise this as much as he can to buy time for Ukraine to grow the size of the army, to rebuild the defence industry of Ukraine, as well as give us time to find more ammunition for them. I think of 2024 as a year of industrial competition. So the army has got to buy time.” 20 hours ago

“Looking at the extent of the destruction in Ukraine right now, it's very hard, in my view, to make the case that we shouldn't be moving into the [Russian] energy sector, particularly oil and coal.”

“We were disappointed with the last-minute change to the language around coal. I think we were quite disappointed, as well as other Pacific island countries, with that last-minute change. It's basically the survival of countries like Tuvalu (at stake).”

“The end of coal is in sight. The world is moving in the right direction, standing ready to seal coal's fate and embrace the environmental and economic benefits of building a future that is powered by clean energy.”

“This [cutting carbon emissions by 40 percent from 2018 levels by 2030] is a bold objective that was raised by about 14 percentage points from the previous target. This is a very challenging task of having to steeply reduce greenhouse gases in a short period of time. It is not an easy task, but South Korea has decided now is the time to act. Following the inauguration of our government, eight coal-fired power plants were shut down. By the end of this year, two additional plants are scheduled to close. We will put a complete end to coal-fired power generation by 2050. Moreover, official financial support for the construction of new coal-fired power plants overseas has already been suspended.”

“It is not about whether China can be less reliant on coal eventually, it is rather about what will happen to a province like ours afterwards. As an activist, of course I'd like to see my home town move away from coal. After all, I grew up only knowing the sky is grey and coal is the only source of energy. But I also worry what will happen to a province whose economy overwhelmingly depends on coal and heavy industries, and the millions of people whose livelihoods are reliant on them. You see, the addiction to coal is not just on a national level, but also on a personal level. It's not easy to move away from. A lot of people here, including another relative of mine, are unhappy with [media] talk of climate change and the [the government's] effort to reduce coal consumption. To us, this is bread and butter. Without it, what would Lüliang look like? They need to start to prepare for a coal-free future right now before it's too late.”

“Global regulators, banks and investors are making ideological rather than market-based investment decisions around coal, which will still have solid demand in the coming decades.”

“I know that the power station switched over to coal and no longer uses gas. It informs the enterprises that disruption can appear in the supply of power as from Mondays, October 11. The station can inform about a halt in the supply of power even tomorrow. It's clear that all the energy resources of the Russian Federation are used as an instrument of economic blackmail that turns into political blackmail. It is not accidental that this letter appeared today, when we have two delegations of the Republic of Moldova in the Russian Federation.”

“China was the last man standing. If there's no public finance of coal from China, there's little to no global coal expansion.”

“China's climate progress is filled with irony and has been two steps forward, one step back. It is the biggest manufacturer, investor, and developer of renewable energy on one hand, but single-handedly burns half of the world's coal.”

“China's energy structure is dominated by coal power. This is an objective reality. Because renewable energy (sources such as) wind and solar power are intermittent and unstable, we must rely on a stable power source. We have no other choice. For a period of time, we may need to use coal power as a point of flexible adjustment.”
