Agenda

The agenda of the fourth annual Global Energy Forum focuses on three key themes: the role of the oil and gas industry in the energy transition, financing the future of energy, and interconnections in a new era of geopolitics. This year, the forum’s regional footprint has expanded to emphasize increasing energy demand in South and Southeast Asia.
