Canada says its can provide more oil, gas and uranium to help solve the global energy crisis.
Mr Wilkinson believes "there is a consensus" among the other energy ministers at the meeting that the world needs to cope without Russian oil and gas, adding: "I think the only differences are around how fast can you actually get away from it."
In the longer term, Mr Wilkinson said he recognised that "energy security and fighting climate change are intimately linked". Russia plays a key role in the global nuclear power industry. As well as mining uranium, it does a lot of the processing to make it useable in power stations.Energy ministers meeting at the IEA in Paris agreed to maintain a focus on cutting carbon emissions as they seek to move away from Russian oil and gas
Mr Wilkinson said: "I think where the secretary general and I would agree very much... is the need to accelerate the work that we're doing on climate change.
