The COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia–Ukraine war and tensions in West Asia demonstrated how energy supply disruptions can contribute to shortages, inflation and wider economic instability. These shocks also reinforced the need to diversify energy sources, suppliers and transport routes while accelerating climate action through clean and renewable energy systems.
Global energy trade, infrastructure and supply chains have created substantial interdependence, making international cooperation essential. Yet, global energy governance remains fragmented and multilayered, with institutions addressing different dimensions of energy supply and demand.
The session will examine whether this architecture is sufficiently coordinated, representative and adaptable to ensure affordability and supply security while advancing sustainability, resilience and an equitable energy transition. Expert interventions will be followed by a moderated panel discussion and an interactive Q&A.
