Introduction

In this theme, we explore the growing strategic importance that energy has for national security, business competitiveness and climate resilience. We examine how leaders across sectors are rethinking supply, technology and collaboration to build energy systems that as well as being sustainable are also robust enough to withstand disruption and are able to drive long-term progress.
