The president of the Andalusian Renewable Energy Association (CLANER), Alfonso Vargas, has reaffirmed the commitment of Andalusian companies in the renewable sector to the fight against climate change and, in particular, to the Paris Agreement and its goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Vargas made these statements at the International Climate Change Congress, held in Jerez, where the organization representing Andalusian renewables played a significant role “due to the leading and international role that Andalusian companies have maintained for decades in the clean energy sector, making an essential contribution to global climate goals.”

In this context, Alfonso Vargas particularly highlighted the contribution of renewables in the decarbonization of the energy model to halt the rise in the planet’s average temperature. “This is an urgent and unstoppable process, and clean energy plays a crucial role in the transformation from an outdated and harmful system to the current efficient, ecological, and sustainable model,” he noted.

During his speech, Alfonso Vargas shared a panel, moderated by the Secretary-General for Energy of the Andalusian Government, Manuel Larrasa, with the Sustainability Director of Grupo AZVI, Guillermo Sánchez; the ESG and Communications Director of Atlantic Cooper, María Esperanza Morillo; the CEO of Coagener, Pablo Gómez; and the manager of Emasesa, Manuel Romero.

Vargas also took the opportunity to thank the Andalusian Government, particularly the Ministry of Sustainability and Environment, “not only for the tremendous effort they are making in the face of the challenge of reducing emissions but also for the fruitful and necessary coordination between the regional administration and the clean energy industry sector in achieving environmental objectives and the sustainable developments that we share.”
