"Europe and the New Frontiers of Energy: Turning Grand Strategy into Effective Policy - Proposing Sustainable, Efficient and Field-Relevant Solutions"

The Ifri Center for Energy hosted its annual conference on March 4th, 2015 in Brussels.  While global energy markets are transitioning to sustainable systems and are confronted by declining oil prices, there is a greater need to align European policies with global energy trends.  This year’s theme, “New Energy Frontiers,” is aimed at calling for an outwards look on energy issues in the European Union as a way to create more realistic and stable policies.  The discussion  will revolve around the question of how the European energy and climate policies can deliver effective results in light of geopolitical upheavals, technological developments and governance issues.
