The climate crisis cannot take second place to wars, says a professor.
Geopolitical conflicts and ongoing wars cannot bypass the global climate agenda, says international Robson Cardock Valdez to Sputnik Brazil.
According to him, the tensions in the Middle East, between the USA, Israel and Iran, and especially the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, and the continuation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, had an impact on the energy market.
At the same time, climate events such as El Niño can exacerbate harvest problems, put pressure on food prices and create economic consequences.
In this scenario, Valdez emphasizes that international crises should not take the focus away from climate negotiations.
