Managing political and geopolitical risks to build resilience
Political risks are at a five-year high and rising. How will this impact your business?
Join Verisk Maplecroft to explore:
- The drivers behind increased global political volatility
- Effects on supply chains and operating environments
- Strategies for integrating geopolitical risk monitoring into your risk management
Learn how to safeguard your business in an increasingly complex global landscape. Don't miss these crucial insights from Verisk Maplecroft's latest data findings.
Register and watch on-demand to stay ahead of emerging risks and protect your bottom line.
According to Verisk Maplecroft’s data, political risks globally rose to the highest level for five years in 2023-Q1 and have continued to rise every quarter since, reflecting increases in civil unrest, government instability and conflict intensity. This sustained rise has been driven by major geopolitical conflicts, such as Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Gaza, the long tail of the pandemic, as well as heightened strategic competition between the US and China.
This webinar will explore how increased political and geopolitical tensions are impacting global risk management through increased political volatility, which can lead to shifts in the operating environment in affected countries. Companies may also be impacted by pressure on supply chains, which can affect import and export of key goods and materials, pushing up logistics and transportation costs, with a potential cascading impact down the supply chain. We will identify ways in which companies can proactively incorporate geopolitical risk monitoring and mitigation into risk management strategies to support longer-term strategic planning.

The role of the oil & gas supply chain in accelerating and supporting the energy transition
In the grip of a global energy crisis, the perception of the oil and gas has wavered from incongruent with climate goals to necessary to achieve them. In light of consumer price constraints, the prevailing thought is to call for increases to oil and gas production in the short-term to secure some energy cost relief. However, for the oil and gas sector to capitalise on this reprieve as primary climate offenders – there is a growing acceptance for their role in decarbonising energy processes, lowering their asset’s emissions profiles and reimagining the supply chain to support the energy transition. read more

The practical steps oil & gas companies can take to decarbonize their portfolios and improve their ESG ratings
Decarbonisation goals must be aligned with the practicalities to ensure neither factor of the ‘energy trilemma’ – affordability, accessibility and sustainability – are compromised by the pursuit of one aspect over another. ESG ratings have become an important metric, used by investors, financiers and credit risk agencies to assess the compatibility of an organisation with global climate goals. The Paris Climate Accords have influenced institutional lenders to be more cautious in their approach to high-emissions industries, with oil and gas producers being among the central targets. read more

The Energy Council News Round-Up: A selection of Russia-Ukraine energy analyses
The matrix of threats emerging from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine make it difficult to keep abreast of developments, whether these be the increase of global oil and gas prices, or the effect of sanctions, or which states could assist Russia in avoiding the impacts of sanctions, or how wheat prices will begin to soar. As most of us watch from the sidelines, trying to navigate how the markets will respond to these threats and how, in turn, that may affect our daily lives – we can be overwhelmed by the tsunami of information analyzing and predicting outcomes. read more
Global gas report – the effects of the Russo-Ukrainian War on global supply
The broad macro effects of the Russo-Ukrainian War on oil and gas supplies upended the global energy markets, creating varied questions to the energy security of many nations. The most drastically affected have undoubtedly been the Ukrainians themselves, yet the over-reliance on Russian oil and gas supplies has led to a scramble for alternative supplies - most notably by European states. However, the constraints created by this market shock could provide the impetus to engage more constructively with low-carbon fuels, encourage investments into publicly-traded oil majors with net-zero strategies and hopefully, underscore the struggles of the 900 million people without access to electricity prior to the war. read more

Making the case for upstream investment in 2022
Many doubts arise when considering investment into Upstream in 2022; will there be expanded restrictions on funds and financiers, or will there be a repeat of the demand slump in early 2021, or will OPEC+ utilize their reserves to shift the price point to one that suits their objectives best. Such uncertainties will often worry the generalist investor but for the energy specialist with experience of the oil and gas cycles, the near future looks far more enticing. read more

A cold or costly winter? Uneasy uncertainty for European gas consumers
As winter’s cold touch spreads across Europe, there is an uneasiness about how the frigid temperatures will be weathered as gas prices creep ever higher. The source of uncertainty for Europe’s gas consumers is broad; the traditional push and pull of Russian-EU energy geopolitics is alive and well, Covid demand and supply contractions have created imbalances throughout the value chain, while the global production levels of oil and gas remain constrained by OPEC+ and the surging market prices. read more

Digital Roadmaps – Comparing The Steps Taken By Energy Giants
Many of the household major oil and gas companies have begun shifting their market position to better prepare for the impending climate revolution. This energy supply shift has been imagined in several scenarios, which in essence are distilled to: our current path, our stated path and the necessary path needed to reach net-zero emissions. Inevitably, the stuttering and profiteering has led us to the brink and now we, as a global society, must rely on our ingenuity to restore the planet to a stable state. Easier said than done, of course, however making this process possible is the integration of advanced digital technologies into robust, legacy mechanical technologies. The rise of this digitalization has been known in the industry, as Oil and Gas 4.0 – referring to the technological era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. read more
