Geopolitics of Fossil Fuel Transition – the Role of International Cooperation

Regional Climate Foundation
November 15, 2025 | Saturday
17:30 to

As global fossil fuel demand approaches its peak, the energy transition is triggering far-reaching shifts in trade, fiscal stability, and geopolitical influence.

Drawing on new political economy analysis, the event will explore the systemic challenges and strategic openings shaping the behaviour of oil and gas exporters in a decarbonising world. For many of these countries, the transition is not just about energy—it is a seismic economic shift that threatens export revenues, foreign currency flows, and political stability.

This event will bring together perspectives from foreign policy, industrial strategy, development finance, and multilateral diplomacy with the realities of a rapidly changing energy economy.

It will offer insights on how to build international cooperation that addresses consumer and producer needs and global transition risks in an era of fragmentation and protectionism.
