“As the global energy system faces unprecedented challenges and promising new innovations, it is more important than ever for leaders around the world to collaborate in person to advance the energy transition. The recent sharp rise in COVID-19 cases in the United States due to the Omicron variant made it necessary to postpone the 2022 Global Energy Forum. We are confident the new event dates and location will allow for an even more impactful and engaging convening.”

Apart from the in-person event in March, the Global Energy Forum will also convene several virtual programs this month during ADSW to complement the event’s critical mission of accelerating global climate action.

The virtual programs will include a high-level discussion on the outcomes from COP26 and the agendas for COP27 and COP28, the rollout of the Atlantic Council Global Energy Centre’s annual flagship publication ‘The Global Energy Agenda’, a discussion on the various pathways to reaching net-zero and a deep dive on the role of hydrogen in a net-zero energy system.
