World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies (WSSET) - Interview

 Why is climate action so slow when the evidence is conclusive? 

 Prof. Mat Santamouris explained that climate action moves at different speeds because countries have different priorities, and that the overall pace is shaped more by those in power than by the public.

 A simple example is political lobbying. Fossil fuel companies spend millions influencing governments and policy processes, which can delay stricter emissions rules or weaken climate targets. 

When a small group has that level of access to decision makers, it shapes the speed and direction of climate action far more than public awareness does. So the gap is not about people not caring. It is about unequal priorities, unequal power, and how global decisions are made
