Marina Ribel
Journalist
I work as a reporter in The Ana Rosa Program ‘in the Spanish television network Telecinco. I have worked as a journalist in national networks such as La Sexta, Televisión Española or Cuatro. I have a degree in Journalism (UC3M), a Master in Television (RTVE) and a Master in International Relations and African Studies (UAM). I have made reports for Africa, Europe and mainly in Spain. This year I am the journalist in charge of my program´s coverage of the Climate Summit in Madrid. I have traveled to more than 50 countries and environmentally I am particularly interested in the impact of climate change in the most disadvantaged regions: it makes poor countries poorer.
The transition to a low carbon economy has a big potential for job creation. A paradigmatic example can be found in naval shipyards that have managed to reinvent themselves by constructing different components of offshore wind power plants. This search for novel, imaginative and synergistic solutions is crucial.Carlos Sallé Alonso - Iberdrola
“We need to change narratives and explain to citizens that decarbonizing the economy is less costly than non-decarbonizing, because we are already paying huge costs included in our health, agriculture and infrastructures budgets to deal with the climate change and air quality problems produced due to the burning of fossil fuels”.Carlos Sallé Alonso - Iberdrola
Climate change is a reality and we already have it here. Scientists say that we are not aligned with a path that allows compliance with the Paris agreement. Climate change generates exponential problems that require exponential solutions.Carlos Sallé Alonso - Iberdrola
Seneca said: “Who doesn’t know where to go, will arrive to other place”. Concerning transition, he would say; Who doesn’t realize decarbonization is a must, will disappear, sooner than later.Carlos Sallé Alonso - Iberdrola
