Climate change, geopolitical events, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and as consequences, spiking energy prices, and volatile markets, shape today’s macroeconomic landscape politicians and companies seek to navigate. This session gathers academics and industry experts to address how the rapid changes in global energy markets may affect the macroeconomy, how to use financial instruments to hedge energy-price volatility, and how to optimally design energy markets.
The event is free and open to the public as its part of the official ONS programme and will be of particular interest to international business leaders, the research community, officials, non-governmental organizations, and the public.
