About the event

The elephant in the room is Europe's dependence on the vast quantities of hydrocarbons that flow from Russia into Europe. The Ukrainian people are bearing the heaviest weight of the war, but it has had grave consequences for global energy markets as well. Due to the EU's reliance on natural gas, together with the US, it has maintained loopholes in their economic sanction packages.

The Russian-Ukrainian war is one wrench in global energy markets, another being climate change. Teetering on this precipice with climate change while simultaneously surviving the war is generating a new framework for understanding global energy markets. A nation’s national energy policy is a cornerstone of its national security policy. Energy independence means relying on national or local sources of energy. A well-functioning global market is what the EU needs to be able to decarbonize its economy, energy, and transport sectors.

While the focus on building the renewables capacity had already been significant prior to the war, the events in the recent months have shown that to fully achieve climate neutrality ambitions, the EU will have to speed up the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure for vehicles, and better plan for the electricity grid upgrades and international coordination.
