To what extent, nature and direction will the current energy crisis accelerate the processes of pro-climate and pro-environmental transformation of the economy, including the implementation of sustainability into the economy, the development of a green closed-loop economy, increase the scale of protection of biodiversity, biosphere and planetary climate?
In countries where the development of renewable energy sources has been hampered in recent years, now the scale of the negative impact of the 2022 energy crisis is much deeper compared to countries where such neglect of green energy transformation is much less. In view of the above, arguably the current energy crisis will accelerate the processes of pro-climate and pro-environmental transformation of the economy, including the implementation of sustainability into the economy, the development of a green closed-loop economy, increase the scale of protection of biodiversity, biosphere and planetary climate. However, due to the different level of energy security, mix and structure of energy sources, the level of independence, the level of the cost of operating specific energy sources, the level of modernity and new technologies applied, the level of development of renewable and carbon-free energy sources, also the scale of the impact of the current energy crisis on the economy is uneven across countries. The aforementioned determinants of structural diversity, etc. of the energy sector in individual countries also the extent and nature of the acceleration of the processes of pro-climate transformation of the economy, including the transformation of the energy sector will probably vary. Taking into account the structural diversity of the energy sectors and the mix of energy sources in different countries, the acceleration of the processes of pro-environmental, pro-climate, green transformation of the energy sector in different countries will not be the same and will vary in terms of its nature, level and pace of development of certain types of energy sources.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:
To what extent, nature and direction will the current energy crisis accelerate the processes of pro-climate and pro-environmental transformation of the economy, including the implementation of sustainability into the economy, the development of a green closed-loop economy, increase the scale of protection of biodiversity, biosphere and planetary climate?
