The NordStream 2 Pipeline and the Future of European Energy Security

A panel of world-class experts discuss the geopolitical, economic and legal issues surrounding Russia’s NordStream 2 pipeline. About the Event Russia’s NordStream 2 gas pipeline to Germany remains very much in the news, especially as winter looms in Europe. What are the chances that the pipeline will overcome legal and regulatory hurdles to enter into service; and if it will, then when? Does Europe really need Russian gas; and if so, then will even more energy dependence on Russia open it to political blackmail? What would that mean for Ukraine? What are the possibilities for Europe’s future energy mix, particularly in view of its policy commitment to decarbonization? A stellar panel of four world-class experts on the relevant geopolitical, economic and legal issues will join the NAOC Energy Security Program to address these and other questions in what will undoubtedly be a first-rate discussion.
