A round table discussion with Senior Vice President, Global Energy, IHS Markit, Carlos Pascual on post-pandemic geopolitics and the critical issues that will shape the landscape through 2021: what will drive decision making for key global players like the US, China, Russia and the EU and how will dependencies and vulnerabilities impact trade, regional economies and political stability?

Regional experts explore critical dynamics in Latin America / Europe / Africa / Asia / Middle East - how global dynamics will shape local realities and vice versa.

Key issues and dynamics affecting the political and security environment in the region including:

• Pandemic fall-out and implications for 2021
• Climate change agenda and implications for 2021
• Global geopolitics scenarios impacts: fragmentation or cooperation

Join Pulitzer Prize winning author Dan Yergin and Senior Vice President, Global Energy, IHS Markit, Carlos Pascual in a fireside chat as they discuss key themes from the newly released best seller The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations.

Together they will discuss:

• How the 21st century energy position of the U.S. has undergone a revolution - the shale revolution - that has changed its standing in the world. And how then did the coronavirus send shale spiraling into crisis, and will it recover?
• How the coronavirus changed the energy markets and the future roles of the Big Three-the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Russia-that now dominate world oil. When will oil consumption hit the high point and begin to decline?
• How will the coronavirus and COVID-19 change both energy and geopolitics? Will it hasten or slow the "energy transition"?
• How unsteady are the foundations of a Middle East that still supplies a third of the world's petroleum and a significant amount of natural gas.
• And much more!
