Iran conflict drives 50% European gas price surge, UN warns of fossil fuel risks.
The ongoing conflict involving Iran has caused a 50% surge in European gas prices over two weeks, highlighting the risks of fossil fuel dependence, according to UN climate chief Simon Stiell.
Speaking in Brussels, he warned that reliance on imported oil and gas undermines national security and leaves economies vulnerable to geopolitical shocks, urging faster adoption of renewable and nuclear energy for long-term stability, lower costs, and energy independence.
Despite calls from some EU nations to relax climate policies for short-term relief, Stiell dismissed such moves as counterproductive, emphasizing that clean energy transitions enhance resilience, create jobs, and protect against future crises.
