Nuclear vital to challenge of climate change

18 November 2016

Agneta Rising, director-general of the World Nuclear Association, has called on Conference of the Parties (COP) to make it clear that nuclear energy will be part of their response to succeed in action on climate change. "France, Sweden, Switzerland, and Canada's province of Ontario, have all achieved more than 80% low-carbon electricity generation by using nuclear energy in harmony with renewables," Rising said yesterday at a press conference hosted by the Russian delegation to the UNFCCC COP 22 climate change conference in Marrakesh.
