Global Energy Landscapes

The global energy landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by technological innovation, policy shifts, and the urgent need for sustainability. The World Bank highlights the critical role of investment in clean energy infrastructure to ensure equitable access and long-term resilience. However, despite ambitious targets, real-time investment in renewables is slowing due to economic pressures, policy uncertainty and grid infrastructure challenges. There are indications that outdated planning and regulatory delays are hindering the expansion of renewable projects, potentially increasing reliance on fossil fuels. While clean energy investment remains substantial, the pace of growth is insufficient to meet global decarbonisation goals, raising concerns about the long-term trajectory of the energy transition.

Against this backdrop, this in-person panel brings together industry leaders to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of energy. Our speakers will provide essential insights into the future of energy, offering perspectives on global investment trends, regulatory shifts, technological advancements and industrial transformation. With expertise spanning market intelligence, policy frameworks and renewable energy, they will explore the evolving challenges and opportunities shaping the energy sector. Businesses across all industries must understand these dynamics, as energy costs, supply chains and sustainability imperatives increasingly influence strategic decisions and competitiveness in a rapidly shifting global economy.
