And today when energy costs are sky-high due to geopolitical tensions, it is more important to remember this thing,” the Indian Prime Minister stated, as per the transcript of his remarks released by the foreign ministry.,The remarks on “energy security” by the Indian Prime Minister come against the backdrop of US, EU and other Western allies urging New Delhi to draw down its reliance on Russian energy imports.,In the lead-up to the summit, the White House indicated that the question of Russian oil imports would figure in the discussions at the G-7 Summit.,Last week, National Security Council (NSC) Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said that President Biden would want India to “participate” in efforts to reduce Russian oil purchases.,A G-7 statement on ‘Support for Ukraine’ said that the Western allies would “continue to explore new ways to isolate Russia from participating in the global market and crack down on evasion”.,Blockage of Russian Bond Payments to Erode Dollar Dominance, French Economist SaysYesterday, 15:29 GMT,“We will further reduce Russia’s export revenues by taking appropriate steps to further reduce dependency on Russian energy,” it read.,European Council chief Charles Michel said last month that the 27-nation bloc would ban Russian crude imports by the end of this year.

B | 据悉，自从11年前申办世界杯以来，卡塔尔就一直设想举办一个碳中性的活动。

C | 根据FIFA 2022年卡塔尔世界杯可持续发展战略，举办该活动需要建造至少8个体育场、数个训练场及支持它的基础设施，所有这些都会产生温室气体排放(GHG)。

D | 为了帮助解决这个问题，组织者已经承诺在设计和施工方面取得最低四星级的GSAS认证。该认证是通过节能策略实现，如通风、照明和水暖装置。

E | 此外，卡塔尔将利用可再生能源如太阳能，为体育场空调供电。他们甚至利用海运集装箱建造了一个可重复使用的体育场。对该建筑的设计分析表明，在运行时可节省高达47%的能源。然而根据FIFA的研究，预计赛事中一半以上的温室气体排放来自于旅行。现代眼下正在加紧努力，以过提供生态友好型交通工具如IONIQ 5和电动巴士来帮助抵消这一影响。现代汽车为2022年FIFA世界杯带来电动交通工具一支环保车队将首次大规模地在FIFA世界杯上亮相。现代表示，它将提供236辆电池电动汽车和混动车以促进碳中性的活动。现代汽车将使用的几款EV包括：现代IONIQ 5Genesis G80 EVGenesis GV70 EV这些EV都将被用来运送贵宾和工作人员，此外，现代汽车还计划为媒体提供其Elec City零排放巴士。现代将通过使用两辆具有车辆到负载(V2L)功能的现代IONIQ 5电动汽车提供路边充电服务。

F | FIFA表示，它将包括一个由停车场设施提供的100千瓦至150千瓦电动车充电器组成的充电网络。2022年FIFA世界杯将于11月20日至12月18日举行。现代汽车CEO在谈到碳中和的目标及其电动交通工具的选择如何帮助时说道：“现代汽车和FIFA共同承诺，通过使用清洁交通工具使今年的赛事获得可持续的成功。通过提供我们的环保混动车和电池电动车作为地面交通工具，我们期望实现我们的共同目标从而使卡塔尔世界杯成为地球和人类的双赢。
