Webinar

Global Climate Service – Energy Security

21 July 2026 – 2.00pm BST (London)

online

The Global Climate Service quantifies the macroeconomic impacts of climate scenarios against a stated policies baseline. These scenarios help businesses understand the implications of climate change and trade-offs of climate mitigation.

This webinar will present the findings from our latest Energy Security scenario, in which countries take action to mitigate risks associated with dependence on fossil fuel imports. More generally, we will discuss how the Strait of Hormuz crisis is affecting countries’ energy policy and the transition to a cleaner energy system.

This webinar is being held on our new platform, ON24. If you do not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk and spam folders.
