SUMMARY:From Climate Change to Energy Securitisation: Advancing the green 
 transition amid shifting narratives of power and crisis
LOCATION:Cambridge University: Babbage Lecture Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Geopolitical\, geoeconomic\, and other evolving global dynamic
 s are today transforming narratives around climate mitigation and the low-
 carbon transition. Where does this leave international efforts to achieve 
 net zero and\, crucially\, our pathways for reaching that goal? In a time 
 of intensifying geopolitical turmoil\, economic crisis\, and regional conf
 lict\, governments the world over are emphasising security over other pres
 sing concerns like climate change\, which has fallen down the priority lis
 t of many. Today\, decarbonisation initiatives are increasingly recast as 
 energy security imperatives\, with new narratives centring on national res
 ilience and strategic autonomy. How is this new framing substantively resh
 aping the low-carbon transition in the face of waning official interest in
  the climate and sustainability agenda\, and to what extent could the new 
 discourse of securitisation be used to reinvigorate the global shift to ne
 t zero whilst preserving the green ambitions at its core? Uniting perspect
 ives from academia as well as policy\, this panel will examine whether the
  new push for energy security is helping to accelerate investment in – a
 nd deployment of – renewable and other low-carbon technologies\, or if i
 t is instead heightening the risk of governments backpedalling to pursue n
 arrower short-term national interests and renewed fossil fuel exploitation
  as they navigate the present moment of crisis and change.
