Episode notes

Shannon O'Neill is Vice President, Deputy Director of Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. She authored a book called The Globalization Myth, Why Regions Matter. Lindsey: Shannon's findings fit neatly within these themes we've been talking about - how regional markets will differ in their implementation of the low carbon transition. Lindsay: Some parts of the world have really been left out of global markets.

This week the ESG Insider podcast is on the ground in Houston, Texas for a special episode covering key themes from one of the world’s largest energy conferences — the annual CERAWeek event hosted by S&P Global. The event brings together big names from across the oil and gas, finance, government and technology sectors, and provides an opportunity to take the pulse of the global energy industry on the low-carbon transition.

In this episode we cover key themes that emerged throughout the week, from balancing sustainability goals with energy security needs, to emerging energy technologies, to the just transition.
