Past Event

March 30, 2022

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has upended energy markets and has brought to the forefront energy security considerations globally. The Center on Global Energy Policy hosted a conversation on what current events in energy markets mean for Latin America’s energy transition, how the region will be impacted by high energy prices, how geopolitical events might be allowing a reset of US foreign policy towards the region (e.g. Venezuela), and what that means for oil markets.
