About the event
The 2023 energy crises are the most important events in the global politics of energy since the 1973 oil shocks. The aim of this panel is to compare and contrast both the 1973 and the 2023 energy crises. The discussion will focus on the broader political and economic context in which the issue of energy security came to the forefront of global politics. The panellists will also discuss the impact that these crises had on the global energy sector and on debates around climate change and the transition to low-carbon societies.
Location
This event takes place in Fyvie Hall at 309 Regent Street, London, W1B 2HW.
