If it isn't handled carefully, the world's response to the energy crisis will threaten the COP26 Glasgow Climate Pact and subsequently global targets.
Europe is scrambling to find a way to wean itself off a heavy reliance on Russian oil and gasAs a humanitarian crisis grows in Ukraine, an energy crisis grows across the planet.
And if it isn't handled carefully, the response will threaten the COP26 Glasgow Climate Pact and subsequently global targets.2:40American talk of boycotting Russian energy prompted Moscow to threaten to turn off its major gas pipeline to Europe. Now governments committed to net zero targets, including the UK, are under pressure from two opposing forces, both using the conflict in Ukraine as proof positive they are right.On the one hand many argue that the only way to protect people from future volatility is to move away from fossil fuels faster - to invest more in renewables and nuclear.
On the other there's the dash for gas camp, insisting that securing better domestic fossil fuel energy supplies, no matter the impact on net zero targets, is the obvious answer.
