Energy security and geopolitics: are risk and uncertainty the new normal? - Global Energy Forum 2020

From tank seizures to pipeline politics to oilfield airstrikes, geopolitics played a dramatic role in global energy markets in 2019 and shows no sign of slowing down in 2020. With tensions reaching a boiling point in the world’s most important energy producing region and ongoing geoeconomic and geopolitical issues around the globe, how can countries manage energy security risk and use energy as a tool for stability, rather than conflict?

The Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Forum is the go-to conference on the geopolitics of the energy transformation, where energy and foreign policy leaders come together to set the energy agenda for the year and examine the longer-term geopolitical and geo-economic implications of the changing energy system.

The 2020 iteration of the forum focuses on three key themes: the role of the oil and gas industry in the energy transition, financing the future of energy, and interconnections in a new era of geopolitics. The forum’s regional footprint has expanded to emphasize increasing energy demand in South and Southeast Asia.

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces, the forum is held in partnership with the UAE Ministry of Energy and Industry, ADNOC, and Mubadala, and is part of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
