The energy sector is complex and dynamic. The world is in the midst of an energy shock that has the potential to speed up the shift to a new world order and economy. Before the pandemic, the demand for fossil fuels was already dropping. Since covid-19 struck, the demand for oil dropped by more than a fifth. Despite these trends, the demand for energy has never been higher and for the world to have a fighting chance of keeping global warming in check, 90% or more of the share of the world’s energy will need to be provided by renewable-energy sources, nuclear power or cleaner energy sources

In its upcoming Future of Energy Week, The Economist Events will invite policymakers, energy experts, business leaders, academics and scientists to break down the concept of energy transition, consider the issues that need to be overcome and explore what a change in the energy system means for Asia and the world.
