Energy Security Amid Climate Challenges

The world faces significant challenges in achieving climate neutrality, with increasing heat waves and the rise of AI-driven data centers influencing future electricity demand. The International Energy Agency (IEA) highlights that while global electricity demand has surged by 6%, driven by advancements in technology and electric vehicles, the need for sustainable practices is more urgent than ever.

A potential increase in oil and gas supply may offer temporary relief, enabling governments to invest in clean energy and eliminate inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. However, to meet mid-century climate targets and ensure long-term energy security, a collective effort towards renewable and nuclear energy is essential.
