Spotlight | Conversation with OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais

OPEC continues to represent the world’s largest bloc of oil suppliers. What role will it play in fostering global energy security and managing the energy transition? OPEC’s new Secretary General will share his vision for OPEC, the evolution of oil markets, securing investments in hydrocarbons to meet global demand and reducing emissions to address the challenges of climate change. For OPEC and energy producers and consumers around the world, how will technology and innovation change energy markets, and in what timeframe? In 2023, COP28 will be hosted by UAE, one of OPEC’s members. How will that affect OPEC’s focus and action on sustainability? What role can OPEC and its members play in advancing the call from developing countries for support on energy access and a “just” energy transition? SPEAKER: H.E.
