In the aftermath of COP28, where global leaders converged to address climate change, and amidst the ongoing energy crisis, understanding the geopolitical landscape has never been more critical. This event aims to delve into these pressing issues, fostering dialogue and insight into the challenges and opportunities ahead and what this means for the Middle East's energy and climate path over the next 5-10 years. Together with the Belgian, Polish, Netherlands and Norwegian Business Councils we warmly welcome you to join our event with our distinguished speaker Robin Mills.
