Greenpeace Luxembourg activists call on the Luxembourg Minister of the Economy to demand the promotion of renewable energies.

I am living through my fourth war in my four decades on this planet.<\/p>\n\n

Beyond the raw, immediate impact my family and I in Lebanon, and countless others are experiencing on the ground, I am watching a deeper crisis unfold at the global level.Headlines are increasingly dominated by soaring oil and gas prices<\/a> and market volatility<\/a>. When the global economy is dependent on a centralised, combustible resource, missiles do more than just cut off power or disrupt shipping. They rock the very foundation of global stability.<\/p>\n\n

When the global economy is dependent on a centralised, combustible resource, missiles do more than just cut off power or disrupt shipping. They rock the very foundation of global stability.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The current crisis is a tragic, undeniable argument for why we must accelerate the transition to Renewable Energy. <\/p>\n\n

Renewables for resilience, independence and defence<\/h2>\n\n
\"Action
Activists unfurled a banner outside the Bulgarian National Palace of Culture reading \u201cOur Sun. Our Power. Our Future.\u201d
\u00a9 Boris Dimitrov \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

This isn\u2019t just about carbon emissions or climate targets. It\u2019s about resilience, security, and survival.<\/p>\n\n

Here is why a decentralised, renewable-led transition is a path toward vital protection and economic security:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Strengthening the grid:<\/strong> You cannot \u201cblow up\u201d the sun. It is incredibly difficult to disable a decentralised network of millions of rooftop solar panels. Distributed energy is inherently more resilient to sabotage than a handful of massive, vulnerable thermal plants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Ending energy dependency: <\/strong>Conflict brings blockades and supply chain collapses. A country that produces its own power from its own sun and wind cannot be held hostage by disrupted shipping lanes or volatile oil markets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Economic sovereignty: <\/strong>As prices soar, nations relying on imported fuels face crippling inflation. Transitioning to local renewables acts as a \u201chedge\u201d against war driven shocks, keeping costs predictable for families when they are most vulnerable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Decentralisation as defence:<\/strong> By removing \u201csingle points of failure\u201d, we ensure that hospitals, schools, and homes can maintain power even if the national grid is compromised.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Not just energy goal but security imperative<\/h2>\n\n

    We\u2019ve long advocated for energy sovereignty<\/a>, but the current situation proves this isn\u2019t a \u201cgreen\u201d luxury. It is a strategic necessity.<\/p>\n\n

    \u00a9 Azeddine Tedjini \/ Medina Street \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

    The transition to renewables is often framed as a climate goal<\/a>. But in a region where stability is fragile, it is also a security imperative<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

    We need to build energy systems that are as resilient as the people who rely on them. Renewables are the best (and much needed) way to make that happen. <\/p>\n\n

Moving our work online has definitely had an impact on our relationships with colleagues, volunteers, and external partners Somehow it feels like we\u2019ve been invited to become part of each other\u2019s lives at home: parents, partners, children and pets have now become regular guests on our video calls. I\u2019m proud to be working with a team that appreciates all its members in all the colour and diversity they bring to the table!
