As the South and Southeast Asian region faces increasing energy demand due to both population and economic growth, countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh must meet that demand while facing and overcoming critical environmental and energy security challenges. How are these countries seeking to diversify their energy mixes and establish more local and decarbonized power systems, and what are the key opportunities for future government and foreign investment?

The 2020 iteration of the forum focuses on three key themes: the role of the oil and gas industry in the energy transition, financing the future of energy, and interconnections in a new era of geopolitics. The forum’s regional footprint has expanded to emphasize increasing energy demand in South and Southeast Asia. Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces, the forum is held in partnership with the UAE Ministry of Energy and Industry, ADNOC, and Mubadala, and is part of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
