The conflict could also lead to increased Russian exports to China as a result of a European boycott of Russian coal and oil. Russia’s coal exports to the country increased last year by 26 percent. 15 percent of Chinese oil imports also came from Russia, which was also China’s third largest gas supplier.
Climate envoy John Kerry’s call is also being conveyed by Ukraine’s leading climate scientist Svitlana Krakovska, who according to the BBC adds that gas and oil are the very driving forces behind war.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has also warned that the climate crisis and the need for new energy sources have ended up lower on the political agenda in recent months.
– If we work together, the transition to renewable energy can be the peace project for the 21st century, Guterres said when the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) presented their new climate report said.
At the same time, he expressed strong concern about the announced food crisis. According to the UN, there is a danger of famine in several drought-stricken countries in East Africa.
