"This year's energy price volatility offers a painful reminder of what the transition to a net-zero-emissions economy entails. For the effort to succeed, countries at all levels of development will have to be brought along, which means that the world will need to do much more to manage energy supply."

Thanks for posting It's all well and good agreeing to move off fossils fuels, but as the article suggests there needs to be replacements for them. It does not seem that there are at the moment. This means poorer people and developing countries are going to struggle if energy becomes more expensive. Is it fair that developed countries get to price out developing countries from reliable cheap energy sources, when after all their success and infrastructure was built on fossil fuels. It feels a bit like they are happy piling on more economic issues to developing countries; after all this opens the door to them needing some of those loans developed countries are always happy to indenture them with!
