Climate change has become one of the five main global risks for 2023, along with the threats of global extremism, cyber threats, deepening political polarization and operational risks, in particular the energy crisis.
This is stated in the analysis of Daily Sabah reports on forecasts for 2023 of the world's leading think tanks, non-governmental and international organizations, in particular the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
The article emphasized that the Russian-Ukrainian war will continue to fuel debates about the global energy, food and supply chain crises. Such risks may intensify amid tensions between the Atlantic and the Asia-Pacific region.
"The risk of global climate change is on our agenda every day. However, companies and institutions are still not sufficiently alert to the seriousness of the risk. We hope that 2023 will not become a global year of natural disasters," the authors emphasized.
Earleir, EcoPolitic wrote, that the Deputy Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine for European Integration Svitlana Grynchuk said that Russia's war against Ukraine accelerates climate change and causes an increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, in Ukraine in 2022 carbon emissions increased by 23%, compared to 2021, and about 33 million tons of CO2 entered the atmosphere due to the military aggression of the Russian Federation.
