text: Renewable Energy Sources For Electricity To Outstrip Coal By 2030 - Fundación Energía y Desarrollo
  The IEA's report, «Energy and Climate Change,» says if the world sets conditions to achieve emissions-related goals, reviews national climate targets regularly, translates climate goals to long-term emissions goals and tracks the transitions, emissions can begin falling as early as 2020.
  Assuming renewable sources will not impact today's energy companies would be a mistake, IEA chief economist Fatih Birol told the Financial Times. "That would be like assuming interest rates will stay the same for the next 25 years," he said in an interview. "It's the same type of short-sightedness."
  «As IEA analysis has repeatedly shown that the cost and difficulty of mitigating greenhouse-gas emissions increases every year. Time is of the essence,» IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven said. «It is clear that the energy sector must play a critical role if efforts to reduce emissions are to succeed. While we see growing consensus among countries that it is time to act, we must ensure that the steps taken are adequate and that the commitments made are kept.»
  The report said governments should make climate pledges for December's 21st U.N. Conference of the Parties, known as COP21, to serve as a basis for further progress and recommends setting a goal of keeping the long-term average increase in global temperatures to less than 2 degrees Celsius.
