Massive disruptions in the global energy market are?
undermining governments and people¡¯s ability to cope

Finance lays out steps to address the global energy crisis
1 August 2022 ¡ª As the world struggles to respond to the once-in-a-generation cost-of-living crisis due to the war in Ukraine, the latest brief of the (GCRG) on Food, Energy and Finance, to be launched on 3 August, will focus on ways to address the global energy crisis, providing specific policy recommendations to address the sky-rocketing energy prices and growing social discontent.
The third brief comes as the first cargo ship leaves the Ukrainian port of Odesa on 1 August carrying grain under the landmark Black Sea Grain Initiative signed by Ukraine, Russia and T¨¹rkiye, overseen by the United Nations.
The GCRG, made up of a diversity of leaders from Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ agencies, development banks and other international organizations, was established by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Secretary-General Ant¨®nio Guterres to develop coordinated solutions to the cascading and deeply interconnected impacts of the war in Ukraine.
