Will the energy crisis accelerate the pro-climate energy transition and affect the declarations made by countries on this issue at the UN Climate Summit COP27?
Rising fossil fuel and energy prices have become a key factor in the 2022 energy crisis. The energy crisis is particularly serious and burdensome for the public in countries where the level of dependence on foreign supplies of fossil fuels is high, the level of national energy independence is low, diversification of energy sources, including the development of low-cost, renewable and emission-free energy sources is low. This issue has been fostered by years of past ignorance of the climate crisis, which is also being realized, in the context of national energy and environmental policies. Therefore, the current energy crisis can become an important factor motivating decision-makers to take into account pro-climate, pro-environmental issues, green energy transition, sustainable development, increase the scale of diversification of energy sources, independence of the national energy industry, development of low-cost, renewable and zero-carbon energy sources in the context of the conducted national energy policy to increase the scale of energy security. On 6.11.2022 the UN Climate Summit COP27 in Egypt began. At such Climate Summits, individual countries make their pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, planned for implementation by a certain date of green, pro-climate, pro-environmental transformation of the energy sector. Through the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources and their replacement of dirty energy based on burning fossils, it is possible to simultaneously reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contribute to slowing down the progressive process of global warming, reduce the potential negative effects and the scale of future climate catastrophe, and increase the level of diversification of energy sources, reduce the cost of heat and electricity production, increase the level of national independence of the energy sector, increase the level of energy security and thus reduce the scale of the negative impact of the energy crisis. The current energy crisis is probably not the last and the climate crisis will develop for many more years. The question of carrying out a green energy transition is a particularly urgent and important issue in the context of saving the climate, biosphere and biodiversity of natural ecosystems for future generations.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:
Will the energy crisis accelerate the pro-climate energy transition and affect the pledges made by individual countries on this issue at the UN Climate Summit COP27?
What is your opinion on this topic?
Please answer,
I invite everyone to join the discussion,
Thank you very much,

These leaders can push forward for an agreement on peace, offer to open a talk with Putin and Russia, to come in term with an alliance /aggrement / collaboration for the peace/ to work on essential production of all kinds, food and energy. The climate migration plan is not less urgent also.
Our UK with USA often in cause of most of the complexity as often, cannot deny. UN is a mere bias and waste of time for the contemporary time of advanced post modern. A new organisation is needed in replacement of UN to be able to deal with fresh modern political and scientific understanding.

Austerity we envisaged at the breaking point of pandemic COVID19. I wrote article and book A New phase of evolution. You call it modified, okay also.
We have talked about capitalism and some theories. John Keynesian ideology of economy we talked about in past years and I still believe it the same lights on the path towards economic development to overcome the economic crises. Ruskin and Hayek and Cambridge economic theory also to be re-evaluated.
For the economic crises, to over come it, it's production the policy makers must focus on, as the traditional aspect of growth and economic development. Natural resources are essential for living and the same is the production, for the economic growth.
Since the pandemic lockdown, and COVID19 outbreak there has been a huge loss of natural resources. Sufficient crops weren't produce to meet the need of population. There need remains huge and shortages in stocks been growing.
Furthermore, the pandemic caused additional costs for the cure took toll on budget. And the stress level is risen is additional burden.
Finally, there must be focus on production to get the engine of the motor to run. With the production jobs will be created on all levels, per to skills ability, from firming, to admin level, starting from application to supervision, through to bank transaction, health and safety.
Overall, the core is funds to be available, and here it is the budget is essential point.

The immediate reaction was to increase the production of fossil fuels particularly in countries that had slowed down or cut production. I hope is that in the long run countries and individuals will other renewable energy resources although they tend to be more expensive probably by defaults caused by oil producers or traders to deter their use.
The Six Energy Paradoxes that slow the sector’s progress, January 21, 2020 by Gerard Reid: "...The choices and approaches that different countries take, all of which are different... They are governed by the following paradoxes and if we do not understand and deal with them, the prospects of cleaning up global energy remain limited: 1. The Utility Paradox; 2. The Market Efficiency Paradox; 3. Jevons Paradox; 4. The NIMBY Paradox; 5. The Renewable Energy Paradox; 6. The Philosophy Paradox
