Introduction Key Learning Outcomes Training Methodology Who Should Attend? Outline

Introduction

Energy continues to shape the global geopolitical environment, influencing national security, economic policy, trade relationships, and corporate strategy. Structural changes across oil, gas, LNG, power generation, and transition technologies are redefining energy markets while creating new strategic dependencies linked to infrastructure, critical minerals, technology supply chains, and geopolitical alliances.

The Energy Security & Global Geopolitics training course provides senior executives and decision-makers with a comprehensive understanding of the geopolitical forces driving global energy realignment. Participants examine the strategic dynamics of hydrocarbon markets, transition fuels, critical minerals, and energy infrastructure while assessing how sanctions, industrial policy, sovereign strategy, and geopolitical competition affect energy security and investment decisions.

Using an evidence-based and analytically neutral approach, the training course strengthens participants’ ability to interpret global energy developments, evaluate strategic risk, and support informed decision-making across complex and rapidly evolving energy environments.

Key focus areas include:

Geopolitical drivers shaping global energy markets and trade flows
Strategic dynamics of oil, gas, LNG, and downstream industries
Critical minerals and transition technology supply chains
Energy infrastructure, chokepoint, and maritime security risks
