ESG Insider: 1 year into Russia-Ukraine conflict, ramifications still playing out
S&P Global Sustainable1
Your Single Source of Essential Sustainability Intelligence
One year since the Russia-Ukraine conflict began, Europe and the rest of the world are still sorting through its impacts on fossil fuel and renewable energy markets.
New articles from S&P Global Commodity Insights and S&P Global Market Intelligence explore how the war has reshaped the trajectory of the renewable energy transition in Europe. The region is still importing natural gas from the U.S. and other countries, even as it pushes to expand local renewable generation. The EU’s effort to cut its dependence on Russian gas has made that market unrecognizable from how it looked before the war. And major European companies are continuing to demand long-term renewable electricity deals to shield themselves from volatile commodity prices.
Also in this week’s newsletter, we bring you the latest edition of the monthly ESG Regulatory Tracker from S&P Global Sustainable1, and we examine how banks face increasing risks from regulations and probes into sustainability claims. We also take a closer look at how multiple U.S. agencies are moving to increase offshore wind power development.
In the latest episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we bring you on-the-ground interviews from the annual GreenBiz conference, where attendees described some of the biggest challenges and opportunities facing sustainability in the year ahead.
