What the Ukraine War Means for Fossil Fuels Supply in Europe

Last November, Cop 26 saw more than 100 world leaders converged to collaborate on the most crucial global issues; climate change and reducing greenhouse gases emissions. The main objective was to have a collective agreement on finding ways to reduce emissions, identify how we can effectively mitigate

the impacts of global warming as well as supporting developing countries to deploy clean technologies and have a successful transition to a low carbon economy.

COP26 despite all of its challenges and delivering less than expected, provided a platform for the participating countries to agree on a significant reduction of fossil fuels and a way forward towards a net-zero carbon economy. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has added many new layers of complexity to the already impossibly complex environmental problems we are facing, which will certainly impact the future of our energy streams, especially in Europe. Now

Europe faces unprecedented challenges towards its energy supply, a game-changer that while in short term creates major concerns could form the basis for new energy strategies towards energy independence in the future.
