Petro Diplomacy 2026: Energy in Crisis: Markets and Geopolitics of Supply

Petro Diplomacy 2026 convenes at a moment of acute strain on global energy systems, where geopolitical fragmentation, market volatility, and the reordering of supply chains are reshaping the foundations of energy security. As conflict, strategic competition, and shifting demand patterns disrupt traditional flows of oil and gas, policymakers and industry leaders face mounting pressure to balance market stability with long-term transition goals. Now in its 12th year, Petro Diplomacy will explore how key producers and consumers are navigating an era defined by uncertainty, constrained capacity, and evolving alliances and the strategic choices that will define the next phase of global energy governance.
