Global reaction to energy crisis risks zero carbon transition
Summary
A briefing by the NewClimate Institute analyzing how government responses to the energy crisis caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine may jeopardize the 1.5°C temperature limit of the Paris Agreement.
Key insights
- The energy crisis resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine has led to a global increase in the development of fossil gas infrastructure, including new production, pipelines, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, rather than a shift away from fossil fuels.
- The current global reaction to the energy crisis risks locking the world into another decade of high carbon emissions, which could make the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C temperature limit unattainable.
