About this event
The Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have seen energy costs soar for millions and a renewed concern about energy security. At this workshop we will critically examine the political and policy implications of these developments.
- What is the relationship between geopolitical conflict and uncertainty, and energy (in)security?
- Might the ensuing chaos inspire countries to reconsider their energy supplies and double down on developing more secure and socio-ecologically resilient sources?
- Or, will the current crisis hamper the transition to low carbon energy sources?
- What might energy secure futures look like?
- How will high energy costs impact politics within nation-states?
- How do we avoid replicating ‘green colonialism’, and ensure just and equitable transitions in the global race to net zero?
