In contrast, the \u201cHigh-Ambition Coalition\u201d of 60 nations, alongside more than 200 consumer-facing companies, supports legally binding measures to reduce primary plastic polymer production and phase out hazardous additives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#5- BlackRock says the e<\/strong><strong>nergy <\/strong><strong>transition needs way more funds:<\/strong> Some USD 4 tn will be required annually by the mid-2030s to effectively shift away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources according to the world's largest asset manager, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/04\/22\/energy-transition-to-need-4-trillion-annually-blackrock.html\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">CNBC<\/a> reports.
