The 9th Annual Columbia University Energy Symposium built on the proud tradition of convening leaders from across the energy sector — companies, government, civil society and the broader Columbia community — for a day of discussion. The guiding theme of the Symposium, The Future Now: Energy Progress in the 21st Century, centered on how the rapid development of unconventional oil and gas resources constitutes one of the most important and transformative innovations the energy industry has seen, one with reverberations across the globe. The transformation raises fundamental questions, including: how can newly accessible resources can be harnessed to favor long-term prosperity? How can the current momentum and innovation in the energy industry help realize an accelerated transition towards a low-carbon economy? What will the impact of these trends be on the US energy architecture, the global landscape of oil and gas markets, and environmental resources? These challenges and opportunities were the focus of discussions and presentations throughout the day.

The Symposium speakers included: Kenneth Cohen, Vice-President, Public & Government Affairs, Exxon Mobil Corporation (keynote speaker); Richard Kauffman, Chairman, NYSERDA (keynote speaker); Jeffrey E. Sachs, Director, The Earth Institute, (keynote speaker); Anne Hoskins, Commissioner, Maryland Public Service Commission; Lawrence Jones, Vice President, Utility Innovations & Infrastructure Resilience, Alstom Grid North America; Fred Krupp, President, Environmental Defense Fund; Sergej Mahnovski, Director, Sustainability and Long Term Planning, Office of the Mayor of New York City; Iván Martén, Senior Partner and Managing Director, BCG; Kevin Parker, CEO, Sustainable Insight Capital Management; David Sandalow, Inaugural Fellow, Center on Global Energy Policy; and many other distinguished energy leaders.

Energy and Climate Issues During the Trump Administration’s First 100 Days

President Donald Trump has made energy a clear focus for his second term in the White House. Having campaigned on an “America First” platform that highlighted domestic fossil-fuel growth, the reversal of climate policies and clean energy incentives advanced by the Biden administration, and substantial tariffs on key US trading partners, he declared an “energy emergency” on his first day in office.
