In the last three years, global economies have had to face three major challenges: the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant increase in inflation, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has heightened geopolitical tensions. These events have had negative consequences on the prospects of global economic growth, with an uneven impact, especially among Mediterranean countries.

The focus of this volume is on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has led to a rapid increase in wheat prices to levels not seen since 2008, as well as increases in oil and gas prices, transportation and insurance expenses, resulting in trade instability and port disruptions. Restrictions on banking transfers with Russia have further worsened economic conditions. Globally, the recession has amplified economic downturns, reduced employment, transportation, and productivity, with severe disruptions also in supply chains.

Possible actions for recovery, especially for commodities such as fuel, involve implementing policies that aim for energy security through sustainable solutions in line with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda.
