Event Description
On Tuesday, March 28, Resources for the Future (RFF) hosted a virtual RFF Live Event, “The Global Energy Outlook 2023: Sowing the Seeds of an Energy Transition.” This event coincided with the release of the 2023 Global Energy Outlook—RFF’s annual report that synthesizes global energy market projections and analysis from leading energy organizations, academics, and corporations—and an accompanying interactive web tool. The only report of its kind, RFF’s 2023 Global Energy Outlook harmonizes analyses from other organizations to allow for a clear understanding and easy comparison of potential future energy markets, climate trajectories, and policy options at global, regional, and national levels.
The event featured an in-depth panel discussion on some of the potential long-term outlooks for energy markets, and how the global energy system will change as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act and other energy-related pledges and policies. It also featured discussion of the role that energy plays in the the rapidly changing geopolitical landscape across Europe, Eurasia, North America, and the Pacific.
The 2023 Global Energy Outlook includes projections from bp; Bloomberg New Energy Finance; Equinor; ExxonMobil; the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan; the International Energy Agency; and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
