ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- World leaders need to look to unilateral energy initiatives because they can't wait for a global climate deal, the IEA executive director said in Abu Dhabi.
Nobuo Tanaka, the executive director of the International Energy Agency, spoke during the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi. He blamed a "lack of ambition" in the effort to find a comprehensive clean-energy plan for exacerbating the threat posed by climate change.
