Energy Security in the Multipolar World

The Energy Security in a Multipolar World project is a research cluster funded by the ESRC/EPRSC in the United Kingdom.  It brings together three overlapping disciplinary research areas of expertise: energy policy, international relations and supply chains; and seeks to stimulate new parnerships and proposals. Led by the University of Exeter and the University of Sussex, it examines a range of issues, including: 

• oil and gas supply chains
• energy infrastructure
• vulnerability of supply chains
• international relations in a multipolar world
• development of new technologies and their supply chains
• concerns about delivery and availability of low carbon technologies
• institutional changes required to deliver major cuts in energy demand
• potential of individual and local actions to improve energy security
• legal implications and possibilities

Coordinating lead author of GEA Chapter 5 on Energy Security, Dr. Aleh Cherp presented the results of GEA during the final closing conference of the project.  He participated in the opening plenary entitled: "Energy Security in a Changing World", alongside other leading experts in the field.
