What happened
Simon Stiell, the UN climate chief, warned delegates at COP31 in Turkey that soaring fossil fuel prices are worsening global inflation. He stated that "fossil fuel cost chaos" is spreading inflation worldwide. This warning follows the US war with Iran disrupting oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, which pushed petrol prices up by approximately 50 percent. Stiell urged countries to accelerate the transition toward renewable energy.
