dir=ltr>The atmosphere at the end of last month’s United
Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Egypt was rather
sobering. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has forced countries to
turn to thermal coal and other fossil fuels to meet their
energy needs, likely postponing the transition to a net-zero
economy. But COP27 also underscored the need to leverage
public policy, regulation, and technological innovation to
achieve a climate-secure future. By now, it has become
abundantly clear that supporting climate-related projects
around the world at the necessary scale will require vast
amounts of capital. </P>

dir=ltr>For the energy industry, 2022 will be remembered as
the year Russia's invasion of Ukraine accelerated a global
energy crisis. The invasion, and subsequent Western sanctions,
heaped new pressures on oil and gas supplies already strained
from the rapid economic rebound from the pandemic. The world's
top energy companies beat a hasty retreat from Russia and
wrote off tens of billions of dollars in assets. European
nations scrambled to make sure they could keep the lights on
and their residents from freezing to death. </P>

dir=ltr>While the actual motivation behind Russian invasion of
Ukraine is still being debated, the global responses to
climate change and the natural resources in Ukraine might act
as the underlying factors that reinforce the decision-making
of the Russian officials. The ongoing trend of decarbonisation
and electrification of the energy and transportation sector
will decrease the importance of fossil fuels in Europe and the
world, weakening Russian economic and political power globally
in the long term. The decline in resource rent would have
significant implications for Russia, such as growing economic,
social, and national insecurity. Additionally, these
implications will result in a fundamental shift in the balance
of power in Eurasia that will diminish Russia’s global
influence. </P>

dir=ltr>Russian fossil fuel bans are propelling the world
towards solar, wind and other renewable energy sources faster
than predicted, says a new report. The world will build 2,400
gigawatts (GW) of new generating capacity mainly from solar
and wind energy in the next five years, equal to China’s
entire current generating capacity, the IEA said in a new
forecast. That is a level of investment 30 percent higher than
was predicted a year ago. That rate of increase will make
renewables the world’s biggest source of electricity by 2025,
toppling coal, said the IEA.</P>

dir=ltr>As a matter of course, political correctness does not
allow Germany to continue importing gas from Russia at the
same amount as before. The government has become the center of
criticism by both the above and below, which are the
international system and its own residents, for still highly
relying on Russian gas. Nevertheless, the energy tie between
the two countries has been knotted for a long course of
history by a massive amount of material investment and
diplomatic deals. Besides, the problem with natural gas is
that it is very difficult to be shipped from one country to
another without specialized pipelines that require time and
money to construct, and suppliers with proper geographic
locations. </P>

dir=ltr>As the world has grappled with the energy shocks
triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, concerns over
energy security have forced countries that had once pledged to
quit coal to burn more of it instead. In Europe, coal
consumption will rise in 2022 for the second year in a row as
the reduction in gas supplies from Russia and corresponding
high gas prices have made power generators rely more on coal
for heat and power. The rise in global coal use comes in spite
of record prices for thermal coal, the kind burnt in power
stations, which hit highs in March and June.</P>

dir=ltr>The states of Central Asia — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan — are facing severe
environmental challenges, which are being further exacerbated
by climate change. These issues are complex, intertwined, and
often rooted in the countries’ common Soviet legacy. The list
of issues includes how to battle Central Asia’s climate crisis
and its inherited ecological disasters: intense air pollution,
deforestation, nuclear contamination and the ecological
disaster that is the <A style="COLOR: rgb(0,124,137)"

dir=ltr>Armenia, a mountainous, landlocked country in the
South Caucasus, is one of the most vulnerable countries in
Europe and Central Asia to climate change. The
nation’s <A style="COLOR: rgb(0,124,137)"
href="https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/resource/NC4_Armenia_.pdf">average
temperature</A> has risen by more than 1.2°C since 1929,
and changing climatic patterns have caused the degradation of
important landscapes, including watersheds and wetlands. In
the face of those challenges, Armenia has launched an
ambitious effort to adapt to climate change and cut domestic
greenhouse gas emissions, which fuel the climate crisis.</P>

dir=ltr>Coal-powered plants and the stoves of residential
homes in Central Asia's largest cities are pumping toxins into
the sky, icy roads are thick with slow moving, aging vehicles,
and social media chatter is full of talk about how bad the air
is and where to buy the best air purifier. Air pollution, and
especially dirty winter air, has long been a problem in the
region, but it is now beginning to resemble a catastrophe. The
political will to combat air pollution has traditionally been
weak, but with public awareness of the problem growing and the
health effects telling, can governments continue to ignore the
obvious?</P>

dir=ltr>The Bank has arranged two syndicated loans worth US$
520 million to help construct and put into operation two wind
power plants with a total installed capacity of 1GW in the
Bukhara region. The financing is the EBRD’s largest renewable
energy project to date across its regions. The Bank’s loan of
US$ 277 million to Bash Wind Power Plant (WPP) will consist of
an A loan of US$ 150 million on the EBRD’s own account and a B
loan of US$ 127 million, which will be syndicated to
commercial lenders. The new wind power plant will generate
more than 1,650 GWh of electricity annually and help reduce
annual CO2 emissions by 930,000 tonnes.</P>
