How does conflict abroad shape energy costs and climate choices at home?

This event hosted by UK think tank Green Alliance discusses how energy costs and climate choices can be affected by conflict abroad.

Join us for a responsive webinar, one month on from the start of the latest oil and gas crisis.

We’ll bring together experts to unpack how instability in key energy markets is driving volatility and what this means for the cost of living in the UK.

We’ll look at how rising energy prices are affecting households and communities, and how these pressures are being felt across essentials like food and transport, alongside the narratives shaping public and political debate.

As pressure mounts on government to boost domestic supply, we’ll consider what this means for the UK’s climate ambitions and whether short term responses risk locking in long term challenges or push us toward a more resilient energy future.

Our panel of experts will discuss all this and more, allowing plenty of time for an audience Q&A.
