The geopolitics of energy

A Festival of Economics panel discussion on how energy security, supply chains, prices and sanctions shape international conflicts and the net zero transition.

This hour-long panel, part of the Festival of Economics, examines the enduring role of energy security in geopolitics, drawing on recent events in the Arctic, the Middle East, Ukraine and Venezuela. Speakers discuss how energy supply chains, prices and sanctions affect international conflicts, and what this means for the transition to net zero. The session is chaired by Eshe Nelson of The New York Times, with Ahmet Kaya of ISI Markets and Yixian Sun of the University of Bath.
