How might a dependence on fossil fuels lead to international security risks?

A dependence on fossil fuels can lead to geopolitical tensions over access to resources, such as oil and gas. This competition for energy sources can result in conflicts between nations and destabilize regions that are key suppliers. Additionally, the environmental impacts of fossil fuel use, such as climate change, could exacerbate resource scarcity and social instability, further increasing security risks globally.
