Energy security is back at the top of the global agenda, but are we focusing on the right solutions? In our latest interview, Nick Mabey, CEO of think tank E3G, reflects on how the current geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are reshaping the conversation around energy security.

"Switching to domestic renewables, and clean energy and putting that into our cars and our factories and our homes is by far the best security."
E3G's new report highlights a critical point: accelerating the phase out of fossil fuels isn't just about climate action, it's the clearest pathway to reducing exposure to oil price shocks and strengthening long-term stability.
The question is: can we stay focused on long-term solutions in the middle of short-term crises?
Watch the interview by Nick Nuttall and stay tuned as these issues will take center stage at key global moments such as the Santa Marta Conference in April and London Climate Action Week in June.
