CFE Statement on One Year Anniversary of the War in Ukraine

BRUSSELS — Carbon Free Europe released the following statement from Lindsey Walter, Director of Policy and co-founder of the initiative.

“For one year, Carbon Free Europe (CFE) has stood united with Ukraine and Europe’s leaders in the face of unspeakable Russian aggression. CFE continues to uphold the values that bind the European Union, founded on peace and respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of people everywhere. We remain unequivocal in our support for a brighter and safer future for Ukraine, and continue to champion a comprehensive decarbonisation strategy that will shatter Vladimir Putin’s continued attempts to weaponize energy, putting an end to Russia’s senseless campaign of terror.”

Carbon-Free Europe

Carbon-Free Europe works to galvanise support across Europe for an ambitious decarbonisation agenda that includes every carbon-free energy technology.

CFE conducts research to ensure policymakers and the climate community have access to comprehensive, robust analyses to make evidence-based decisions on net-zero strategies. As part of this, we assess the risks and tradeoffs of different net-zero pathways to advise governments on credible trajectories to 2050.

CFE advocates for technology-inclusive climate policies, which are essential for deep decarbonisation and to reduce Europe’s vulnerability to volatile energy prices. We also provide expert insights on contemporary issues, including the EU’s Green Deal, national energy and climate plans, and Europe’s energy security.
