The global energy crisis can be a historic turning point towards a cleaner & more secure future

.

We just released this year’s edition of our flagship publication, the World Energy Outlook (WEO), which shows that global energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is causing profound and long-lasting changes that have the potential to hasten the transition to a more sustainable and secure energy system.

.

.

The report, the gold standard for energy analysis, examines the ongoing shock of unprecedented breadth and complexity that has already caused major tremors in natural gas, coal, electricity and oil markets. It assesses the policy responses by governments around the world, which promise to accelerate the transition to clean energy.

.

And it weighs how these changes measure up against the world’s climate commitments and energy security needs.

.

Read about the key findings – including what the latest developments mean for the long-term outlook for fossil fuels, renewables, energy efficiency and more – in the press release and executive summary.
