On Monday, April 13, the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center hosted an AC Front Page conversation featuring Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), at a pivotal moment for global energy markets.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is placing renewed focus on global energy security. In this conversation, Birol discussed the recent energy-supply disruptions and how the IEA is responding to the crisis, including with members’ decisions this month to release oil from strategic stockpiles. He will also talk about how the IEA is guiding governments and markets through an increasingly complex energy landscape, shaped not only by today’s crisis but also by evolving demand patterns, emerging technologies, and other geopolitical risks.
