Global Energy Forum opens in Abu Dhabi

Global Energy Forum opens in Abu Dhabi

The fourth annual Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum opened in Abu Dhabi yesterday (Jan 11), kicking off three days of high-level discussions with industry and political leaders to set the energy agenda for the year ahead. 

 

Once again, the Global Energy Forum is serving as a key part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.

 

Participants at the Global Energy Forum will examine the longer-term geopolitical and geo-economic implications of the changing energy system, with a focus on the role of oil and gas in the energy transition, financing the future of energy, and interconnections in a new era of geopolitics. 

 

The forum will have a region-specific focus this year on South and Southeast Asia, which has emerged at one of the world's fastest growing demand centres.

 

The forum is once again being held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces. The Forum is convened in partnership with the Ministry of Energy & Industry of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), and Mubadala Investment Company, with Sharjah-based Crescent Petroleum and Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation as Platinum Co-Chairs.
