Fossil fuels: Is the world on track for moving past coal, oil and gas production?
Scientists, economists and Indigenous activists met in Oxford in September to discuss a challenge central to solving climate change: how can the world rid itself of fossil fuels? The event was the latest in a string of scientific conferences examining how to address fossil fuel supply – in addition to demand. Amid rebounding global emissions and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, experts discussed where the world stood on meeting its climate goals, which regions are likely to invest heavily in new fossil-fuel projects and continued misinformation from the oil and gas industry.

Ce que la guerre en Ukraine signifie pour les objectifs climatiques de l’Asie
Les files d’attente devant les pompes à essence au Sri Lanka ont diminué, mais pas l’anxiété. Asanka Sampath, une employée d’usine de 43 ans, est toujours vigilante. Il vérifie les messages sur son téléphone, passe devant la pompe et parcourt les réseaux sociaux pour voir si le carburant est arrivé. Les retards pourraient signifier être laissé bloqué pendant des jours. “J’en ai vraiment marre”, a-t-il déclaré. Ses frustrations font écho à celles des 22 millions d’habitants de la nation insulaire, confrontée à la pire crise économique de son histoire en raison de lourdes dettes, de la perte de revenus touristiques pendant la pandémie et de la flambée des coûts. L’agitation politique qui en a résulté a culminé avec la formation d’un nouveau gouvernement, mais la reprise a été compliquée par l’invasion de l’Ukraine par la Russie et le bouleversement des marchés mondiaux de l’énergie qui en a résulté.

What the war in Ukraine means for Asia's climate goals
The queues outside petrol pumps in Sri Lanka have lessened, but not the anxiety. Asanka Sampath, a 43-year-old factory clerk, is forever vigilant. He checks his phone for messages, walks past the pump, and browses social media to see if fuel has arrived. Delays could mean being left stranded for days. "I am really fed up with this," he said.
His frustrations echo that of the 22-million inhabitants of the island nation, facing its worst ever economic crisis because of heavy debts, lost tourism revenue during the pandemic, and surging costs. The consequent political turmoil culminated with the formation of a new government, but recovery has been complicated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the consequent upending of global energy markets.
