At a time when policymakers worldwide are re-assessing global net-zero targets and international climate goals, political shifts are driving rapid changes in energy and industrial policy. These shifts have raised questions about how leaders will continue to address the needs of the ever-accelerating global energy transition, while navigating complex security, competitiveness, and geopolitical dynamics.
At Climate Week NYC, the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA and the SIPA Institute of Global Politics will host a high-level program, The Future of US and Global Energy Policy, featuring conversations on how recent policy shifts are impacting domestic and global energy policy, and how industrial leaders are navigating the headwinds and tailwinds of this shifting global policy landscape.
The program will feature:
