“All countries have to start their journey somewhere. Having a foundation in hydrocarbons is not a determinant of whether a country will make it through to the other side in the clean energy transition or not,” Ali Zaidi, Assistant to the US President and White House National Climate Advisor, told journalists.
“What we’ve seen here at the COP29, is an ability to come together to recognize climate change. Crisis that impacts everybody, and to recognize that the solutions for a clean energy economy are within reach here in Azerbaijan and around the world.
I think the United States stands ready to help countries around the world lift up their path and trajectory into a clean energy economy.
For example, there’s potential for offshore wind development. Over the last four years in the United States, we’ve gone from zero commercial utility scale plants to 10 that are underway. As a result, we’re eager to share our experience with Azerbaijan, as the country sets its sights on harnessing that source of clean energy,” he emphasized.
