Fourteen of the world\u2019s largest financial institutions will move to back COP28\u2019s nuclear energy pledge to triple global nuclear capacity by 2050 and channel more financing for new nuclear

Banks may also assist by arranging bond sales or connecting companies with private equity or credit funds. Ahead of the announcement, banks provided non-binding commitments on nuclear energy to private sector partners, a source familiar with the matter told FT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Background:<\/strong> Led by the US, over 20 countries inked a declaration to triple the world\u2019s nuclear energy production by 2050 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/eab3f3ff-ace7-4e41-b082-45a0d91fe1fe\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">at COP28 last December<\/a>.

The initiative aims to support critical minerals projects essential for high-tech industries and secure minerals for technologies including EVs.

He highlighted China's monopolistic practices, including overproduction and predatory pricing, which have stifled competition. China currently controls a significant portion of the global processing capacity for rare earths, cobalt, nickel, and lithium.

The sector\u2019s emissions account for 12% of the EU\u2019s total and have remained unchanged over the past 15 years compared to other sectors that have managed to cut their emissions, Edenhofer says. Other sectors had been subjected to levies and other climate incentives while farmers have managed to evade those policies by staging protests, one round of which pushed the European Commission to withdraw a proposed pesticide law and suggested targets. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But things might change soon: <\/strong>The EU will consider imposing a carbon pricing mechanism on the sector as it begins to outline its plans for its next five year mandate to come into effect later this year. The bloc is considering a levy on food processors that would push farmers to use land as a carbon sink. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That\u2019s not all: <\/strong>The EU will have to advocate for the use of different forms of climate technology such as carbon removal to meet its targets, Edenhofer added.
