WASHINGTON, June 17 — US President Joe Biden told a climate conference for major economies today that Russia's war in Ukraine shows the shift to renewable energy is a matter of national security as well as key to preventing global warming.
But it comes just as Biden faces public anger over soaring fuel prices linked to fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, European countries are struggling to find ways to circumvent dependence on Russian oil and gas imports. However, the UN chief's message ran counter to the political realities facing Biden as he tries to persuade the domestic oil industry to amp up production and prepares for a visit to Saudi Arabia next month.
Today's gathering was the largest leader-level gathering before COP27, the follow-up summit, set to take place in Egypt this November. Despite the scramble to adapt global energy markets to fallout from the Ukraine war, Biden insisted that longterm climate management, immediate economic goals and ending reliance on energy exporter Russia can all work together.
