Speaker: ROBERT FALKNER, Professor (LSE) https://uk.linkedin.com/in/robert-falkner-63a8a125
The war in Ukraine has heightened concerns over the impact that geopolitical instability will have on future climate change and energy policy. Great power tensions and conflict threaten to undermine the search for international cooperation on global challenges. At the same time, Russia’s military aggression has galvanised European countries to seek strategic autonomy from Russian fossil fuel imports; will it also end up galvanising leading powers to accelerate the net zero transition? In this talk, Professor Falkner assesses the state of international climate policy and the role that geopolitics plays in it.
