The forthcoming annual Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum in Abu Dhabi is expected to set the global energy agenda for the year ahead and examine the longer-term implications of the changing energy system.
The forum is slated to be held on January 14-15.
This year’s forum assumes particular importance as critical climate and energy strategy issues take centre stage in the lead-up to the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP28) in the UAE at the end of the year.
Looking ahead: The road to COP28
Among the headliners will be John Kerry, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and former US Secretary of State.
The 2023 forum will focus on the challenge of managing energy security priorities and decarbonisation efforts in tandem amid the continuing impact of the crisis in Ukraine on the energy transition.
