The world has placed vast importance on the COP26 meetings in Glasgow for their role in setting a considerably more ambitious and urgent global climate agenda. But the approach both to this event and emissions reduction more broadly remains fragmented with disparate interests spanning across participating governments, institutions, and corporations. With little consensus on how targets should be set and incentivized, and vast inequality in distribution of resources to achieve these targets, there are many loops to close and hurdles to clear before the world can arrive at a truly impressive and obtainable pathway to zero emissions. Kevin Kajiwara, Co-President of Political Risk Advisory, joins Monica Frassoni, Teneo Senior Advisor, former MEP and Co-President of the European Green Party, Sarah Ladislaw, Head of the US program at Rocky Mountain Institute, and Michal Meidan, Director of the China Energy Programme at Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, for a lively discussion that addresses three of the most influential markets in the climate debate. Our guests focus on policy and regulatory implications surrounding global climate change literature and COP26, and assess how deeper commitments and greater scrutiny of companies, investments, and government action can shape the path forward.

Energy dominance – which includes increased production, reduced regulation, and enhanced energy trade – is the more assertive progeny of energy independence, a key long-time goal of US energy policy.

The consequences of this will likely last years. In the midst of a price war, global oil demand is in a free fall. The spread of the coronavirus has left 3 billion people worldwide unable to get on a plane, drive to work or go anywhere, really, at all. In response, global oil demand is plummeting. The International Energy Agency says as much as 20 million b/d of oil demand may be lost this year. On today's Capitol Crude podcast, Sarah Ladislaw, senior vice president and director and senior fellow of the Center for Strategic & International Studies' energy security and climate change program, answers a few questions about where the US oil sector is headed. What is the Trump administration doing to bail out the struggling shale industry? They say they're pressing the Saudis to work to stabilize the market, but how serious is that effort? And with Texas regulators contemplating oil alliances with Saudi Arabia, has the US oil industry entered a new, unpredictable chapter?

In this episode, Andrew invites Sarah Ladislaw and Kevin Book to give an update on oil markets as they face downward economic pressure. Sarah Ladislaw is senior vice president, director and Senior Fellow of the Energy Security and Climate Change Program at CSIS. Kevin Book is the managing director for Clear View Energy Partners LLC.

The CSIS Stephenson Ocean Security Project and Energy Security and Climate Change Program are pleased to welcome Senator Tom Udall who will share his views on U.S. efforts to address plastic waste.   The conversation will center on the contribution of plastics to ocean pollution and climate change. Plastic production is forecasted to triple by 2050, at which point it will account for 20 percent of global oil consumption and generate considerable greenhouse gas emissions. The United States alone disposes of 32 million tons of plastic waste each year. Much of that ends up in the ocean where it degrades marine ecosystems and enters our food system through fisheries.   Welcoming remarks will be given by Sarah Ladislaw, Senior Vice President and Director of the Energy Security and Climate Change Program, and the conversation will be moderated by Whitley Saumweber, Director of the Stephenson Ocean Security Project at CSIS. This event is made possible by the generous support of the Philip Stephenson Foundation and by general support to CSIS and the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program. 

Andrew Schwartz and Sarah Ladislaw talk about how and why climate change has risen as a top priority for global leaders, what this means for the energy sector, and what it means for decision makers across government, civil society and the private sector.

Click here for Under Secretary Mandelker’s complete remarks. The CSIS Energy & National Security Program is pleased to invite you to Are Sanctions Working?, a conference examining the state of U.S. sanctions―what is different, what is and is not working, and implications for U.S. foreign policy, the global economy, and the energy sector. The United States has employed sanctions as a foreign policy mechanism for decades.  In recent years, the United States has developed a new generation of more targeted, more agile economic sanctions.  It has become increasingly reliant on these new tools, and its ambitions for their impact have increased. Whether more robust sanctions regimes have won any clear victories is a matter of debate.   In the last three years, U.S.-imposed unilateral and secondary sanctions regimes have sought to influence North Korea, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.  But countries that have been subject to sanctions for years have found ways to adjust to U.S. moves. This conference will review the efficacy of the new style of U.S. sanctions, understand what is contributing to their success or failure, and gauge their future.  Speakers will also explore how sustained use of sanctions is impacting one universally important sector: the energy sector.   Welcome & Opening RemarksDr. John Hamre, President and CEO, CSISKeynote Sigal Mandelker, Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, U.S. Department of the TreasurySanctions and Foreign PolicyHeather Conley, Jon Alterman, Jeffrey Mankoff, Moises Rendon, Matthew GoodmanSanctions and the Energy SectorPeter Flanagan, Sarah Ladislaw, Kevin Book, Stephanie Segal This event is made possible by general funding to CSIS and the CSIS Energy & National Security Program.

The politics of energy independence are both deeply bipartisan and deeply partisan.Every president since Richard Nixon has declared a goal of eliminating America's dependence on foreign sources of energy. But each President approaches independence from a very different political lens. Jimmy Carter was the first to make renewable energy a centerpiece. Ronald Reagan dismantled that strategy and instead focused on lifting price controls on oil and gas.Later, George W. Bush focused on domestic oil production, but also put in place some foundational policies to support domestic renewables. Barack Obama, of course, put renewables front and center.Today, we have Donald Trump, who has made coal-powered "energy dominance" the centerpiece of his energy policy. What does that mean exactly?And after nearly 50 years of talk about energy independence, how are we doing?Joining us this week is Sarah Ladislaw, a senior vice president and director of energy and national security at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
