Kyoto, Japan: Greenpeace today called on the Asian Development
Bank (ADB) to support an emergency response equal to the severity of climate
change impacts (1). Only by putting all its resources and expertise behind an
energy revolution based on renewable energy and energy efficiency can the Bank
remain relevant. ?The ADB must shift now to supporting real solutions ?
renewable energy and energy efficiency. Failure to do so spells disaster for
Asia?s most vulnerable. The next decade is decisive and coal or nuclear are
expensive and dangerous and have no role to play in the emergency response to
climate change needed. To say that coal can be part of a sustainable energy
future is like saying that cancer can be part of a healthy body?, argued Gerd
Leipold, Greenpeace International Executive Director.
