On Thursday, January 30 at 1:00 p.m. ET, the Global Energy Center will host a discussion on the European Union’s (EU’s) forthcoming sustainability policies and what they will mean for the transatlantic partnership.

The future of the transatlantic alliance stands at a defining moment following ground-shifting elections in the United States and Europe. To address shared challenges like rising energy costs and inflation, the United States and Europe must jointly advance low-carbon, affordable, and reliable energy solutions, which can drive economic growth, foster innovation, and protect energy systems from hybrid threats. Achieving these sustainability and resilience goals will require compatible policies to enable the United States and the EU to build a skilled workforce, diversify supply chains, and scale up financing mechanisms.  

This event will focus on EU directives and regulations, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, and Methane regulations. Global experts will explore the goals of these policies, what it will take to comply with them, and the potential impacts they could have on trade, energy security, carbon emissions, and economic competitiveness.  

This event will take place at Atlantic Council headquarters and will be broadcast on ACTV, YouTube, X, and Facebook. To attend this conversation, please register using the form on this page.
