One recurring theme at COP29 was the unpredictability of fossil fuels. In recent years, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical unrest have driven up energy prices, leaving markets exposed to global volatility. The UK has felt this more than other European nations, with rising energy costs adding to the cost-of-living crisis.
Reliance on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable to factors outside our control—limited reserves, political instability, and fluctuating global demand.
The answer is clear: we need to transition to clean, renewable energy. As Dr Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, said at COP29:
“The more we go for clean energy, the more resistant we are to global conflicts because nobody can take solar or wind as a hostage.”
Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are abundant, secure, and immune to price shocks. By investing in renewables, we can stabilise energy costs, improve security, and help protect our planet.
For individuals and businesses, the move to renewables isn’t just an ethical choice—it’s a practical one. Clean energy reduces your exposure to rising energy prices while lowering your carbon footprint. With advances in technology and government incentives, making the switch is easier than ever.
