Join us as we delve into the shifting landscape of geopolitical risk in 2024, where a world once shaped by globalization and geoeconomics now grapples with shocks including the aftermath of the pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Amidst heightened tensions in the Middle East and evolving US policy aimed at responsible competition with rival superpowers, energy and climate change take center stage. We explore the urgent need for decarbonization efforts spurred by energy price shocks and significant incentives for renewables investment provided by the Inflation Reduction Act in the US. Furthermore, we'll discuss the growing threat of cyberattacks as a tool of statecraft, underscoring the imperative to address the escalating risks posed by increased digitization of critical infrastructure. Join us at the halfway point of the year as we analyze the most impactful geopolitical risks shaping the years ahead.
