The war in Ukraine could set back the global energy transition by years - not only because there is a short-term focus on the increased use of oil and gas, but also because renewable energies are affected. This could lead to a considerable increase in price of rare earth metals, which are needed for the production of renewable energy plants.

The war in Ukraine is already a human catastrophe. And it could also prove disastrous for climate protection, as it slows down the global energy transition. This is partly because various countries are now frantically trying to reduce their dependence on Russian fossil fuels such as gas and oil and are instead relying on other sources of supply. In Germany, for example, there is discussion of at least a delayed coal phase-out and efforts ...
