Event Summary

"The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations" by Daniel Yergin

We will examine how major energy revolutions, shifting climate policies, and global geopolitics are fundamentally reshaping technology, economy, and society. The conversation will explore the impact of the U.S. shale revolution, rising competition among global powers, and the complex road ahead as nations balance energy security with the transition to clean power.

Discussion Highlights:

  • The Energy Transition: Balancing renewables with traditional power.
  • Geopolitics & Supply Chains: How nations compete for green tech resources.
  • Tech & Sustainability: What shifting energy maps mean for local and global communities.

Why You Should Join This Session: As technology and energy infrastructure become increasingly intertwined, understanding global energy dynamics is critical for tech leaders, policymakers, and engaged citizens. This session provides a grounded, collaborative space to explore how energy security, climate policy, and technological innovation will shape our collective future. You’ll leave with a clearer perspective on the forces driving global supply chains and the geopolitical map of tomorrow.
