Irina Patrahau: Emerging from the War in Ukraine into a Secure Energy Transition
HCSS strategic analyst Irina Patrahau contributed an article for the latest edition of Columbia University’s Journal of International Affairs on the War in Ukraine: The World Responds. In her essay, Patrahau analyses the impact of the Ukraine war on the EU’s approach to energy security, taking CRM as a case study. She compares the EU’s energy supply security policies on gas with the similar absence of a strategic vision on the supply security for critical raw materials.
Column Energiepodium: Onbenoemde problemen
Tijdens de recente ontmoeting zegden de Chinese en de Amerikaanse president toe om samen te werken op klimaatgebied. Dat is hard nodig, schrijft Rob de Wijk in zijn column voor Energiepodium, want beide landen zijn goed voor ongeveer 40% van de totale uitstoot aan broeikasgassen. “Samenwerking tussen de beide grootmachten betekent nog niet dat klimaatbeleid succesvol is. Kijk naar Nederland waar het klimaat een ondergeschoven kindje in de verkiezingscampagne was. Dat is geen toeval.”
