The Global Annual Energy Meeting - 9th edition

In 2021, the European Union’s pioneering Green Deal will increasingly come to life, through legislative and other initiatives. At the 9th edition of the Global Annual Energy Meeting, we will explore the Green Deal in its global context. The event, which will be held online this year, will kick off on Monday, February 1st, 2021 at 16:00 CET. 

"The Geopolitics of the Green Deal” brings together two key European Commission priorities: Europe as the world’s first climate-neutral continent, and as a strong global actor. Already, the EU’s trailblazing steps towards climate neutrality have reverberated positively across the globe. Yet the Green Deal and its related components – including the push for hydrogen, a proposal for a carbon border adjustment mechanism, and questions related to investment in the energy transition – may have further international implications.

In order to examine these dimensions, Esade’s Center for Global Economy and Geopolitics (EsadeGeo) is hosting – together with the Representation of the European Commission in Spain and EIT InnoEnergy – the 9th edition of its Global Annual Energy Meeting. This meeting provides a forum to discuss how energy technologies, geopolitics, and regulation will affect business and society in the medium term.
