- In its annual report on global energy, the International Energy Agency (IEA) stated that government expenditure on clean energy in response to the crisis will represent a "historic turning point" in the shift away from fossil fuels.
- According to Birol, the wave of renewable energy investment will cost Russia $1 trillion in lost fossil fuel profits by 2030 compared to before the invasion.
- Birol stated that the crisis had not altered the IEA's assessment, which was initially released last year, that all new fossil fuel projects should be halted immediately in order for the world to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
