Description
Escalating conflict involving Iran has jolted global energy markets—disrupting supply, driving volatility, and underscoring the environmental and economic risks of a system still deeply reliant on fossil fuels. This panel brings together leaders across energy, security, and investment to explore how geopolitical shocks are reshaping the path forward—from energy security and resilience to the acceleration of cleaner, more diversified energy systems. At stake is a defining question: will crises like this entrench dependence on legacy fuels—or catalyze a faster transition to a more stable, sustainable energy future?
