Ukraine-Russia war is a boon from the perspective of climate change, UN Meteorological Organization gave this reason

Geneva, The head of the UN’s meteorological agency, Petri Tallas, has said the war in Ukraine could be seen as a ‘boon’ from a climate perspective, as it accelerates long-term green energy development and investment. . World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Secretary-General Talas made this statement at a time when the world is facing an energy crisis, largely due to economic sanctions imposed against Russia, a major producer of oil and natural gas and fossil fuels.

Tallas said the war in Ukraine was “a shock to the European energy sector”. “In five to 10 years it will be clear that this war in Ukraine will increase our consumption of fossil energy and it is accelerating the pace of adoption of green resources,” he said. “We will invest more on renewable energy, energy saving measures,” he said. “From a climate perspective, the war in Ukraine can be seen as a blessing,” Tallas said.
