In 2020, Europe passed a landmark climate package called the Green Deal. It was supposed to mark a new era of climate progress for the region. Few expected that two years later, Europe would be burning more coal, importing more liquified natural gas, shifting from gas to oil for industry, and spending more money to subsidize fossil fuel consumption. Europe's energy crisis, many years in the making, has been exacerbated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine – and the subsequent turmoil in regional and global energy markets. The past six months have proven how the global energy transition will play out in chaotic and non-linear ways. So what will today's energy crisis mean for the energy transition? How will governments around the world react to today's supply shortages and price spikes? And what does the wild ride for commodities and energy pricing mean for security and climate goals around the world?  This week, we're running an episode of the Foreign Affairs Interview podcast featuring our co-host, Jason Bordoff, and Meghan O'Sullivan, a professor of international affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School.  Meghan is the author of “Windfall: How the New Energy Abundance Upends Global Politics and Strengthens America's Power.” And she served as deputy national security adviser for Iraq and Afghanistan during the Bush Administration. In June, Jason and Meghan joined host Dan Kurtz-Phelan to discuss their recent articles on the ongoing energy crisis. They talked about market volatility, President Biden's trip to Saudi Arabia, and why energy is still so central to geopolitics.

The global energy market is in a state of upheaval. The war in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions against Russian oil and gas have forced the West, especially Europe, to quickly find new energy sources to keep the lights on and the cars running this summer. In the United States, rising gas prices are pushing President Joe Biden to make a controversial trip to Saudi Arabia to encourage the oil-rich state to increase production. This scramble for quick-fix energy solutions comes as the world is trying to kick its addiction to fossil fuels and reduce the effects of climate change. How will these short-term needs affect the urgent but longer-term transition to clean energy? And could today's energy market turbulence be a harbinger of challenges to come as the global energy system is remade?  Jason Bordoff is the co-founding dean of the Columbia Climate School and the founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. During the Obama administration, he served as senior director for energy and climate change on the National Security Council. Meghan O'Sullivan is a professor of international affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School and the author of Windfall: How the New Energy Abundance Upends Global Politics and Strengthens America's Power. During the George W. Bush administration, she was deputy national security adviser for Iraq and Afghanistan. Together, they bring years of experience—both inside and outside of government—to the debates around energy, climate, economics, and geopolitics.   We discuss how the war in Ukraine continues to affect the global energy market, Biden's upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia, how governments can meet their energy security needs without decelerating the green transition, and why changes in the global energy system will continue to disrupt geopolitics.

This presentation is part of the 2021 lecture series, entitled Rethink Energy: Countdown to COP26, which is co-organised by the IIEA and ESB. On this occasion, Professor O'Sullivan discusses how the transition away from fossil fuels will remake the geopolitical landscape. In the wake of the COP26 summit in Glasgow, she focuses on how the increasingly urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is changing the priorities of the great powers, creating new divisions between countries, and offering new sources of geopolitical leverage. Professor O'Sullivan examines the global energy transition, particularly over the next decade as countries meet 2030 targets. She concludes by assessing how the actual efforts to move to a net-zero future will disrupt current patterns of international affairs, long before the world has completed this historically unprecedented energy transition.

Harvard professor and former Washington policymaker Meghan O’Sullivan was named the 2017 “Energy Writer of the Year” by the American Energy Society for her book Windfall: How the New Energy Abundance Upends Global Politics and Strengthens America’s Power and for her New York Times commentary “How Trump Can Harness the U.S. Energy Boom.” That’s just the most recent line on her incredibly impressive resume. A couple of the highpoints include, her current role at Harvard University as Director of the Geopolitics of Energy Project. Before heading to academia she served several roles in government. Between 2004 and 2007, she was special assistant to President George W. Bush and Deputy National Security Advisor for Iraq and Afghanistan. Windfall reveals how the transition from energy scarcity to energy abundance has transformed global politics and boosted American power. In this episode of Clean Power Planet we discuss the geopolitics of energy, which are still largely driven by fossil fuels, but we also dive in on the future of renewables, the pros and cons of natural gas as a bridge fuel, climate change and the need for carbon capture.
