The report also includes an exclusive overview of this year’s keynote address, “How geopolitics and markets are shaping the move to a decarbonized future,” by Robert J. Johnston, Managing Director, Global Energy and Natural Resources for Eurasia Group.

“The conference provides our guests with an opportunity to discuss topics of interest to them and to shape the industry thinking on these issues that are on the minds and desks of our friends and clients. That is why, for the first time, we’ve developed a series of short articles on each panel so a wider audience can benefit from the conference content,” said Reed Smith partner Craig Enochs, who serves as co-vice chair of the firm’s global Energy & Natural Resources group. Enochs organized this year’s conference along with partner Stefanie Burt and counsel Edwin Nazario.
