The<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>EU\u00a0has set itself the goal of becoming a climate-resilient society by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>For the near future, however, natural gas will play a role as the cleanest of fossil fuels. Divergences of interest between Berlin and other European capitals have come to the forefront over several issues, including the controversial Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline, burgeoning U.S. LNG exports to Europe, and debate over labeling natural gas (as nuclear power) a green investment in the EU taxonomy.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the disarray, is there room for cooperation among transatlantic partners to overcome the current energy crisis and create long-term solutions?<\/p>\n<p>Together with German, U.S., and Ukrainian experts working on gas and EU policy in Europe and Eurasia, this webinar will examine Germany\u2019s likely stance on this topic and the potential for further transatlantic cooperation in this area moving forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date and Time: <\/strong>November 9, 10:00am-11:00am Washington\/16:00-17:00pm Berlin<\/p>\n<p><strong>Link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/bfna\/geopolitics_of_energy-13423480\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"\u00d6ffnet in einem neuen Tab\" >Register here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Speakers: <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Miriam Kosmehl <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Senior Expert, Eastern Europe and European Neighborhood <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Bertelsmann Stiftung<\/p>\n<p><strong>Laurent Ruseckas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Executive Director, Gas, EMEA<\/em><\/p>\n<p>HIS Markit<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mykhailo<\/strong> <strong>Gonchar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>President<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Center for Global Studies Strategy<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sonja Peterson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Expert, European Climate and Energy Policy<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Institut f\u00fcr Weltwirtschaft<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Moderated by<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brandon Bohrn<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Manager, Transatlantic Relations<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Bertelsmann Foundation<\/p>\n","excerpt":"<p>Webinar Title: The Geopolitics of Energy: Forging a Transatlantic Approach Toward the Global Gas Crisis?
