Oil Market Futures: The Policy and Politics Shaping Twenty-First Century Energy

The fall in prices has turned the oil market upside down over the past two years. The prospect of sustained low oil prices and policies designed to meet commitments in the Paris climate agreement are likely to shape the future of geopolitics, oil demand, and efforts to reform global fossil fuel subsidies.

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace hosted a half-day event to discuss the changing energy landscape and its implications, with a keynote address by U.S. State Department Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs Amos J Hochstein, and the presentation of the “Oil Market Futures” report by Cambridge Econometrics and partners.
