Navigating Global LNG Trade Dynamics and Geopolitical Challenges in 2040

• Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies
• FSR: Florence School of Regulation

Sebastian Zwickl-Bernhard from TU Wien will share his expert perspective on the evolving dynamics of the LNG trade and the geopolitical challenges we anticipate by 2040.

Drawing from his recent study, co-authored with Anne Neumann, he will highlight key findings on market integration, supply chain disruptions, and strategic shifts among major LNG players.

The discussion will address key aspects such as the distribution of responsibilities among nations, the role of ethical considerations in policy-making, and practical approaches to implementing fair climate actions. The study emphasizes the need for deeper integration of these principles into climate scenario research to better inform policy-making and ensure fairer outcomes in tackling global climate challenges. Dr. Mintz-Woo will provide concrete examples to illustrate how fairness can be incorporated into climate policies to ensure both effectiveness and equity.

Experts Anna Cretì from Université Paris Dauphine, Anouk Honorè from OIES, and James Kneebone from FSR will provide their insights and critiques on the presentation. Moderated by Marzia Sesini and Nicolò Rossetto from FSR, the session will invite audience participation, encouraging a dynamic and engaging dialogue.
