How the Iran war has revived interest in greener energy worldwide
A different kind of climate change has hit the Caribbean coastline of Colombia over the past few days – triggered not just by oil or gas, but also by missiles and attack drones.It’s a change in the political climate around recently flagging international efforts to limit the effects of global warming and agree on a “roadmap” away from carbon-based fuels toward cleaner, greener energy.The war in Iran wasn’t on the original agenda for this week’s First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels, held in the Colombian city of Santa Marta. But it was clearly on the minds of delegates from the more than 50 countries represented in what the co-organizers – Colombia and the Netherlands – called an effort by a “coalition of the willing” to explore practical steps away from fossil fuels. Why We Wrote This The Iran war has brought change to the climate-policy debate. In many countries, a revived interest in greener energy might well be here to stay. The conflict has choked off about one-fifth of the world’s supply of oil and gas.“We already had a very good reason to move on,” said Wopke Hoekstra, the climate envoy from the European Union. But with the war costing EU countries nearly $600 million a day, he said, “we now also have it for commercial reasons, for reasons of independence.”Britain’s representative, Rachel Kyte, emphasized “energy security,” saying more and more countries were concluding that “fossil fuels are a source of instability.”The “transition” envisaged by the conference is unlikely to be quick or easy.Key oil- and gas-producing states rely on their energy exports. And, critically, countries worldwide are still a long way from being able to do without fossil fuels.That explains why the war’s effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, vital to oil and gas exports from the Persian Gulf, has dramatically raised energy prices and hit economies across the globe.When one major Arab oil producer, the United Arab Emirates, announced this week it would be leaving the OPEC petroleum cartel, it signaled its intention to increase production, adding that it expected “sustained growth” in demand once the war was over.Yet the “political climate change” also appears likely to have a sustained effect.
