Summary
As global energy demand continues to surge and is projected to rise significantly by 2027, the energy supply chain faces increasing exposure to complex, cascading, and systemic threats. Timely identification and understanding of these threats are critical to preventing disruption and reducing long-term damage.
However, current risk assessment approaches often fall short to capture the diverse concerns, priorities, and interdependencies of the stakeholders involved in the energy ecosystem. This results in fragmented and misaligned mitigation efforts across the supply chain. Our project aims to explore these tensions and frictions and better identify core risks and threats in the energy ecosystem, considering diverse views from the energy sector’s stakeholders.
