Dr. Carolyn Kissane
The Geopolitics of Energy Security in Europe
Monday, November 7, 2022 | 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has forced a rapid and profound rethink of the European countries’ energy security architecture. However, as winter is coming, Europe is facing a deepening energy crisis. The continent is struggling with record-high energy prices, shifting suppliers, and consumer concerns. What is Europe’s current plan to fill the gap left by Russian energy supplies? How will the European Union unify under the energy pressure caused by energy scarcity this winter? How will recent developments affect Europe’s short- and long-term commitment to climate change? Join us on Monday, November 7 at 6.30 PM for an IN-PERSON conversation with Dr. Carolyn Kissane, Assistant Dean for the MS in Global Affairs and MS in Global Security, Conflict and Cybercrime, and Director of the NYUSPS Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab at the Center for Global Affairs at New York University, where we will explore these questions and more.
