On Monday, April 13 at 12:30 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center will host an AC Front Page conversation featuring Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), at a pivotal moment for global energy markets.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is placing renewed focus on global energy security. In this conversation, Birol will discuss the recent energy-supply disruptions and how the IEA is responding to the crisis, including with members’ decisions this month to release oil from strategic stockpiles. He will also talk about how the IEA is guiding governments and markets through an increasingly complex energy landscape, shaped not only by today’s crisis but also by evolving demand patterns, emerging technologies, and other geopolitical risks.
New policy: In-person attendees will be required to show photo ID upon arrival, and no on-site registration will be permitted. Guests will not be admitted later than twenty minutes after the event’s start time.
