Fatih Birol is the Executive Director of the International Energy Agency. Birol believes that developing and poor countries will be the first to be affected by the current unrest in the Red Sea.
He believes that nuclear energy is an important step that Arab countries must benefit from. He expects the use of coal and oil to reach its peak before the decline in the prices of the energy sources. The Turkish economist and energy expert has been the Executive director of the Energy Agency since September 2015. The agency has moved to the forefront of global efforts to achieve international climate goals and protect energy security.
