COP27 briefing: The energy trilemma

The pillars of the energy trilemma – affordability, security and sustainability – look precarious. Amidst fears of recession and changes in trade flows following the Russia-Ukraine war, security remains the primary concern of many countries. As COP27 approaches (6-18 November 2022), we take a look at the main themes that are likely to emerge in discussions and negotiations among the 193 countries that signed the Paris Agreement. Although this COP doesn’t have the same buzz around it as COP26, there are still some wins to achieve – and some “hot button” issues that could derail negotiations. Read our COP27 briefing to find out more about the main themes to look out for.
