Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy and the Harriman Institute for a discussion with Prof. Yannis Maniatis, Greek Minister of Energy, Environment, and Climate Change, on the shifting energy dynamics in the Eastern Mediterranean and Europe. Minister Maniatis will discuss Greece’s efforts to develop its domestic energy resources and its role in advancing domestic and regional energy security priorities.
