Spending money on new coal, oil, and gas as a result of the war in Ukraine is "delusional", according to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, APA reports citing BBC.
Many countries want to increase their own fossil fuel production in order to depend less on Russian supplies.
Guterres says our global energy mix is broken, and more coal will only reinforce the "scourge of war, pollution and climate catastrophe".
The UN chief says that renewable energy is the peace plan of the 21st Century.
In a video message to the sixth Austrian world summit meeting in Vienna, the UN secretary again took countries to task for their continued reliance on fossil fuels.
