On Thursday, February 20, at 3:30 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center hosted a discussion to launch the Center’s annual flagship report, the Global Energy Agenda. 

In an era of rapidly and perilously shifting geopolitical dynamics, the upcoming edition of the Atlantic Council Global Energy Agenda charts the course for a more secure and sustainable energy future at an especially crucial moment. The launch of the Agenda, the flagship publication of the Council’s Global Energy Center, features distinguished leaders from government, industry, and civil society. They discuss how global affairs are shaping the energy system’s transformation, and what needs to be done to advance energy security, economic opportunity, and net-zero ambitions. Speakers also analyze the findings from our annual Global Energy Agenda survey through which more than 1,000 climate and energy experts provided their outlook on these defining challenges.

This discussion took place live at the Atlantic Council headquarters and was broadcast over Zoom, YouTube, X, and Facebook.
