London – ʶԳ announces a new phase of its Conversation of the Century initiative, aimed at engaging the public around the most pressing issue of our time: the global transition to a low-carbon energy future.

There is little trust between the public that uses energy and the companies that produce it. Opinion about energy and the environment is increasingly polarized, and the complexity around the subject hampers progress.

The Conversation of the Century platform was first launched in 2021 to bring together professionals in the energy debate: government, industry, finance and academia. We believe there is more to do to engage the public, as the current discourse is happening largely superficially, on the surface, leading to misunderstanding and polarization, widening the divide and leading us further from our common goals.

ʶԳ has provided information to the energy world for over 70 years. Our vision is for diverse parts of society to engage in the “big conversation” around the future of energy, including climate change, clean energy, fossil fuels, sustainability, social inequity and energy accessibility. We aim to address these complex issues from all angles: technical, geopolitical, macroeconomic, political and social.

The Conversation of the Century public platform is for anyone interested in learning more about the world of energy. We are offering all concerned parties to come to this neutral and independent space to drive constructive conversation and jointly develop solutions to meet the climate goals.

“Making the complex issues of energy accessible is important to us, personally and professionally. We have been developing the Conversation of the Century in an industry context for the last four years. We now aim to elevate this initiative through broader engagement with the general public,” said Lara Sidawi Moore, Chief Strategy Officer of ʶԳ.

The platform will assemble a diverse team of independent voices, creatives, experts, government and energy professionals, alongside passionate members of the public, to simplify the path the planet faces to lower carbon emissions and implement net-zero targets.

“This is a public service from ʶԳ that will finally bring all parties together to collaborate and develop the transition trajectory through intelligence, not emotion,” says Raja Sidawi, CEO and Chairman of ʶԳ.

ʶԳ is an independent information company and a leading provider of industry news, analysis, data and research to the broader energy sector, but is not itself an energy producer, supplier or trader.

The Conversation of the Century is an ʶԳ initiative created to bring together all sides of the debate to discuss the most important issues in energy.
