Half of the world’s population will be heading to the polls in 2024 - a time of conflict and rising geopolitical tension. Amongst all of this, the approach to the energy transition is still far from a partisan political issue - and the recent European (EU) Parliamentary election highlights this is by no means US-centric. While the more rightward leaning EU Parliament is not expected to lead to a rolling back on climate policies, it is likely to make it more complicated to get new green policies off the ground. While stability and unity is required, upcoming elections will see economic nationalism and political polarisation undoubtedly have an impact on both energy markets and the transition. #energytransition #geopolitics #netzero #energysecurity #elections
