I’m very proud to co-sign the #AntwerpDeclaration on behalf of IOGP Europe, to underline the Oil & Gas industry’s support for an #EuropeanIndustrialDeal.   The upcoming 2024-2029 mandate must make the preservation of our industrial base a priority: Without it, Europe won’t have the means to be resilient and autonomous, or even to sustain its model of values.   As for the Oil & Gas industry, we are committed to continue supplying the #energy and #decarbonization solutions needed by the industrial sector – we just need a policy framework that makes room for and incentivizes the production and use of all carbon mitigation technologies.

We frequently discuss the "absence of awareness" or the expectation for governmental intervention, yet those engaged in discussions ought to proactively contribute to the formulation of a novel framework through the presentation of comprehensive mitigation plans, action plans, or mechanisms. The emphasis extends beyond mere talk of awareness and government involvement, as an excessive reliance on government initiatives has proven unproductive. Therefore, it is imperative to consider an immediate restructuring of the conventional pyramid from top down to bottom up via community-led support project, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a serious knowledge transfer etc etc . I am compelled to quote my interview participants, ""The future* is already there, So what future are we looking at now?" *The concept of "future" is exemplified by developed countries that have adeptly incorporated heritage into their daily existence, embracing a bottom-up power structure wherein communities take the lead in decision-making, rather than relying solely on politicians. Successful instances of robust, community-driven projects serve as an inspiration. The blueprints, mechanisms, and frameworks are readily available for examination and adaptation by so-called "third-world countries." It is incumbent upon us to scrutinize and glean insights from these exemplars to cultivate a more inclusive and community-centric approach to development and decision-making. As we know, Malaysia often finds itself lagging behind by at least 50 years in comparison to certain regions.
