How geoeconomics will affect the green transition
World events have shone a stark light on the vulnerabilities of energy markets, supply chains and global economic security. How are geopolitical shocks reshaping trade, production and investment?
Our panel will draw on research in international economics, industrial organisation and political economy to explore the implications.
