How do geopolitical tensions impact the global energy supply? What are the security risks associated with the energy transition? How will the energy transition affect global power dynamics?

For the seventh webinar in the Perspectives on Transition series, we are delighted to host ANZ's Head of Geopolitical Risk, Cameron Mitchell. Cameron will provide a geopolitical update and discuss how global tensions, conflicts and developments have the power to shape our progress towards a successful energy transition. He will explore the interplay between trade, technologies, policy, defence and ideologies, and share his insights into the challenges and opportunities that transition presents in a complex global landscape.
