De Croo Statement at Nuclear Conference

“There is no lack of private financing. Quite the contrary, what lacks is the right circumstances to get private financing going and a multilateral bank should be a lever to multiply investment,” Alexander De Croo said at the conference in Brussels. 

Rafael Grossi Remarks

At the same nuclear conference, International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi discussed that now every country agrees nuclear energy is part of a climate solution, since the last international conference on climate, COP 28.
