GENEVA (AP) — The acting U.N. human rights chief on Monday urged European Union member states to avoid “backtracking” on their efforts to develop renewables and energy-efficiency projects at a time when soaring energy prices have prompted some to ramp up use of and searches for fossil fuels.
Nada al-Nashif, the acting U.N. high commissioner for human rights, laid out rights concerns about more than 30 countries, regions and territories including Ethiopia, Ukraine, Myanmar and Haiti in an opening speech to the latest session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
Beyond expressing concerns about the direct impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine, she noted how the war has dented exports of food and fuel from those two countries - that are major producers of both - forcing EU states, for example, to scramble for more energy sources.
“In the face of soaring energy prices which threaten to impact the most vulnerable as winter approaches, some EU member states are turning to investments in fossil fuels infrastructure and supplies,” al-Nashif said.
While such an impulse was “understandable,” she warned of the long-term consequences of boosting use of fossil fuels that contribute to global warming and called for faster development of energy-efficiency projects and renewables.
“There is no room for backtracking in the face of the ongoing climate crisis,” she said.

The UN and the EU.
Two flavors of evil.
united nippleheads
If I were the EU, I’d tell the UN to go suck an egg.
Hopefully there’s a good amount of hemp rope left.
Don’t listen to the Nazi UN leader
FU UN.
many here think we should do the lifting. bahh!
“The UN and the EU. Two flavors of evil.”
Well, the UN for sure. But the EU is not that far behind.
You are a optimist.
Well, if the EU doesn’t work towards getting their fossil fuels, then, the UN would end up reaching their goal towards ‘climate change’, since, no fossil-fuels means no energy and no economies or economies in recession/depression. Weak economies means the climate change idiots would have gotten their way, while the affected people would do the suffering.
Zip it, deadbeats.
What the HELL does the acting U.N. high commissioner for human rights have to do with ENERGY POLICIES?
Sit down, shutup, and worry about REAL human rights ABUSES going on all around you.
-Start with the Uighurs in China.
-Do something for all the civilians killed, wounded and displaced in Ukraine and Donbas.
-Take a look at Maduro in Venezuela, whatever scruff-beard is running Cuba and the tyrant Mullahs of Iran.
-Canadian Truckers need some help.
-People around the globe who do not want to get the jab, but are ordered to despite the known health concerns.
LADY, you have a lot of work to do. Stick to your own wheelhouse!
How about marxist-muslim coalition for the downfall of the west.
The UN’s controlling is the OIC turd world nations.
I am sure these “developing nations” do not give one shit about polluting. That’s a problem of the west, let’s bleed it
Child labor and destroying the rainforests of Congo with all of its endangered species is really helping change the weather, isn’t it?
Greta is trying hard to get wood-burning outlawed in the EU. Currently it’s considered “carbon neutral”.
If only:
EU to UN: Shove it up your corrupt, collective asses.
