The global conversation on energy changed at Davos 2023 - here's why

At the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting that ended days ago there was no bigger issue than the energy crisis - with its links to the challenges of climate change, geopolitics and the cost of living - what has come to be known as the 'polycrisis'.

On this episode, we hear from two people immersed in the discussions at Davos on why the global conversation on energy has changed, with climate change and the energy transition now firmly centre-stage.

People on this episode:

Roberto Bocca, Head of Shaping the Future of Energy and Materials, World Economic Forum

John Defterios, World Economic Forum energy fellow

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission (addressing Davos 2023)

António Guterres Secretary-General of the United Nations (addressing Davos 2023)
