In March 2007, one year after the first Russian-Ukrainian gas crisis, the EU-27 member states have agreed upon the world’s most ambitious “integrated energy and climate policy” that seeks to balance the three objectives of the triangle of energy security, namely climate change and environmental sustainability, economic competitiveness and supply security. The presentation will analyse the EU’s evolving common energy and energy foreign policy in the broader context of the global energy megatrends and the interlinking geopolitical challenges, risks, and supply security vulnerabilities, climate change and its impacts on energy mix and strategies, the worldwide re-nationalisation trends of energy and other resource sectors and the increasing need for protection of critical energy infrastructures against old and new forms of attacks (Cyber threats). Special attention will also be paid to China’s energy demand and its implications for the global energy markets and its foreign, security and defence policies.
