While there has been considerable analysis of the US economic and environmental implications of LNG exports, there has been less analysis to date on the impact on Pacific energy markets, economic growth, CO2 emissions, or geopolitical and international security priorities. This forum will address these and other issues and attempt to lay the groundwork for future research projects and for sustained US-Pacific collaboration in assessing and refining policies and technologies that support safe and responsible natural gas development. Keynote remarks will be offered by Adam Sieminski, Administrator of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, and Chris Smith, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary and Acting Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy.

- Jason Bordoff, Director, Center on Global Energy Policy, Columbia University
