Europe is facing another energy shock — the second in four years. With oil and gas markets rattled by conflict in the Middle East and renewed pressure on global supply chains, the risks of fossil fuel dependence are back in focus.
In this episode of Financing the Future, we speak with Climate Bonds experts Sarah Maxwell and Lily Burge about the European Comission's new AccelerateEU strategy, and how Climate Bonds' new report, Rapid Transition to Energy Sovereignty, can guide policy and financial flows.
We break down why Europe remains structurally exposed to global energy shocks, how reliance on imported fossil fuels creates economic and geopolitical risk, and the five steps that can strengthen long term resilience.
