Abstract

Climate change is one of the biggest geopolitical challenges facing states and peoples in the 21st century. It can be said without exaggeration that climate change is a multiplier of conflicts associated with the growth of socio-political instability and global stratification of societies, increased migration pressure, more frequent large-scale natural disasters in the form of forest fires and floods, causing serious social consequences, etc. global warming is still not entirely clear even to specialists, but the consequences seem to be very threatening to the very existence of the entire human civilization. Under the influence of global warming, the concepts of carbon neutrality and energy transition have emerged and become widespread.
