Global Energy Crisis and Geopolitical Tensions

Military tensions involving Iran have contributed to a costly energy crisis whose effects are spreading across many countries around the world. International analysts warn that such conflicts highlight the structural vulnerability of the global energy system.

Bombed refineries, disrupted maritime routes for transporting oil and liquefied natural gas, and rising fuel prices reveal the fragility of an energy model still heavily dependent on fossil fuels.

In this context, many experts argue that accelerating the transition toward renewable energy sources would not only reduce environmental emissions but also improve the economic and geopolitical stability of the global energy system.

“The global energy system remains largely tied to fossil fuels, whose supply is concentrated in only a few regions of the world. Every conflict has the potential to send shockwaves through the global economy,” stated António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations.Source: Diario El País – United Nations
