As we enter fall/winter, the world is grappling with what the conflict in Ukraine will mean for energy supplies in Europe and beyond. As energy prices soar and countries consider energy rationing, a reactionary boom in fossil fuel investment risks locking the world into (Climate Action Tracker). But the evidence is clear; just last year the IEA published a realistic pathway to Net Zero and clearly stated that there is “no need for investment in new fossil fuel supply.”
