Stranded Assets and Energy Transition Risks

In order to keep global warming under control, we need to drastically reduce the consumption of coal, gas, and oil. However, an abrupt abandonment of fossil fuels would strand a vast amount of assets. A smooth transition to renewable energy is of paramount importance. In this new 2-day masterclass, we will dive into the topic of asset stranding. The first edition will take place on 24 & 25 May 2023.
