Military conflicts significantly affect the future of climate change around the world, even though regular armies have feared for decades that growing climate crises will be the primary cause of future conflict. The Russian-Ukrainian war is not separate from these developments, especially given its direct and indirect repercussions on the issue of climate change, as the associated escalation of energy crises in some countries and major obstruction of the international transition to clean energy sources. Estimates show that, since the war began, the use of fossil fuels is expected to increase by 14% amid a shortage of energy supplies, especially from Russia, which is the largest source of natural gas in the world, contributing around 40% of the needs of European countries. Russia is also the second-largest exporter of petroleum derivatives and the third-largest exporter of coal. The developments of the war in Ukraine have prompted many countries to shore up their fossil fuel imports in the foreseeable future, as was clearly demonstrated in the case of Europe with Moscow’s September 2022 announcement it was suspending natural gas shipments via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.
