Policies to ensure the security of energy supply and access have long been domestic and foreign policy priorities for the United States and will remain so, including for the health of our economy. Looking ahead, however, two developments will increasingly affect how energy and foreign policy come together. The first is climate change and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in concert with others. A second is rapid change in global markets driven by new, large-scale consumers in China, India, and elsewhere and the rise of wind, solar, and other, increasingly cheap renewables. How do these factors come together, and what will be the main areas of focus of US foreign energy policy in the years to come?
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with former Ambassador to Turkey Ross Wilson as he discusses these factors and their effect on foreign policy.
