In order to meet the ambitious climate targets set by countries around the world, rapid developments across multiple sectors are required.  But with many gaps in the law still existing and shifting political priorities, can these developments occur rapidly enough to meet the targets?  This panel will focus on how the energy and transportation sectors, in particular, are grappling with the challenges of meeting climate change goals amidst global political uncertainty.  Panelists will discuss pressing issues related to the development and use of alternative fuels, revamped infrastructure, and grid stability, among others, and will explore how ESG mandates help (or hinder) in the face of continuing gaps in the legal framework. The session will also assess how policymakers all over the globe are working to find suitable regulations to achieve climate targets and thus shape energy law for the Next Generation.  This dynamic session will allow attendees to learn what can and will be expected in terms of energy law for the next 25 years.
