The Sea Change in Energy Globally – The Headwinds We Face And The Tailwinds We Hope For

Thursday, April 9, 2020

10:30 am - 12:00 pm

With the remarkable change in the geopolitical landscape of the past month, what can we expect to experience? Economic demand destruction, capital markets shrinking, growth and economic forecasts that have been dramatically reduced, will disrupt the landscape.

The impacts to issues such as climate change and carbon management and declarations by industry and governments will be viewed through a new lens. The fundamentals of globalization will be challenged. But all is not lost as radical change has always created opportunity through new perspectives.
