About this talk

Iran brings into sharp focus how energy holds the world to ransom. On March 24, 2021, in the remote north of Mozambique, 500 ISIS militants attacked the small, paradise beach town of Palma – strategically unimportant but for vast offshore gas fields that had attracted $50 billion in foreign investment, including over £1 billion from the British government. His investigation takes him around the world, from Europe to the US and back to Africa again, as he tracks down the roughnecks, mercenaries, billionaires, and corporate spooks who can shed light on our most essential industry. Our expert panel will discuss the murderous business of energy and how the Iran war is shaking the global energy system and our planet's climate future.
