World Economic Forum March 31, 2022.Most people around the world don't blame climate policies for rising energy costs, finds a new survey.
A new global survey shows that people don't blame climate policies for rising energy costs and strongly support moves to end the use of fossil fuels.
Only 13% of those questioned blamed climate policies for rising energy prices, with most naming volatility in oil and gas markets and current geopolitical tensions as the primary causes.
Policies to tackle climate change were most commonly blamed in India where 24% of people thought they were the cause of energy price rises, followed by a fifth of people in Germany and 19% in Poland.
"Unfortunately, we are once again seeing claims that volatility in gas and electricity markets is the result of the clean energy transition," International Energy Agency Executive Director Dr Fatih Birol wrote in a recent blog.
In reality, said Dr Birol, well-managed clean energy transitions can help reduce energy market volatility and its impacts on businesses and consumers.
The report also warned against postponing climate policies as energy prices rise, saying that the cost of failing to deliver on the energy transition might be higher than the cost of the energy transition itself.
