US special climate envoy John Kerry
told Ecological Transition Minister Roberto Cingolani in Rome
Thursday that all countries must cut emissions this decade if
they want to keep on track for the goal of keeping global
warming to under 1.5 degrees Celsius.
"It's not enough to say 'zero emissions by 2050,'" said Kerry.
"We must do now the things that will make it possible to arrive
at what we need by 2050".
Kerry will meet later Thursday with B20 chair Emma Marcegaglia
and the CEOs of the main energy companies that play a role in
the B20 task forces, ANSA sources said.
Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi, Snam CEO Marco Alverà, Enel CEO
Francesco Starace, and Edison CEO Nicola Monti will meet Kerry
at Villa Pinciana, one of the US embassy's residences in Rome.
