AC Selects: Ukraine’s strategic ally, revisiting the Abraham Accords, and the Navajo Nation energy crisis

Week of February 4, 2022

This week, The Atlantic Council in Turkey focused on the implications of the Russia-Ukraine conflict as a NATO member while balancing complex ties with both sides. The Middle East Programs invited Barak Ravid to revisit the Abraham Accords, how it came to be, its legacy for the Middle East, and impact on US-Israel relations. Finally, the Global Energy Center invited Suzanne Singer to discuss advancing affordable, reliable and clean energy access for Indigenous people across the Navajo Nation.

Within the Atlantic Council’s longstanding commitment to strengthening the transatlantic relationship, the Atlantic Council Turkey Program conducts research, provides thought leadership, and offers a platform for strategic dialogue between the US, Turkey, and NATO allies to address the region’s toughest challenges and explore opportunities, including in the fields of energy, business & trade, technology, defense, and security.

The Global Energy Center develops and promotes pragmatic and nonpartisan policy solutions designed to advance global energy security, enhance economic opportunity, and accelerate pathways to net-zero emissions.
