Geopolitics accelerating global shift toward renewable energy, leaders say

Former Norwegian Minister of Climate and Environment Eri Solheim

Opening the discussion at the NXT Conclave 2026, Erik Solheim said that recent geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, are pushing countries to rethink their dependence on fossil fuels. Referring to global energy volatility, he said the situation had inadvertently turned former US President Donald J. Trump into "the largest promoter of renewable energy on planet Earth."

"Of course the war which is now happening in the Middle East is the strongest public relations for renewables at any point in human history," he said. "Everyone wants to be independent of the volatility of the oil market. And how can you do that? Well, you go into solar, into wind, into hydropower."
