UN: fossil dependence generates energy crisis in Europe

Observador10 September 2026 at 13:25

The United Nations issued a warning about a new energy crisis approaching Europe during the winter. The warning was made by the executive secretary of the organization for Climate Change.

According to the UN executive secretary, the crisis is caused by European dependence on fossil fuels. This dependence leaves the continent in a vulnerable situation during the winter months.

The UN message reinforces the need for transition to renewable energy sources as a way to avoid future similar crises.
