As a result of the energy crisis, the key to successful energy security should not be based on one dominant energy source or technology. In the outlined circumstances, the upcoming voting on the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) is particularly significant as European nations struggle with the implications of their energy policies, the outcome of this vote could determine whether member states prioritize short-term energy security through fossil fuel investments or commit to long-term sustainability goals. Our distinguished guest, Fahira Brodlija, Adjunct Lecturer at the International University of Sarajevo will share her expertise on the ongoing efforts to increase greener energy as well as the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) risks arising out of the energy transition process. The discussion will also feature the inevitable role of foreign investors in energy security.
