Energy trilemma of security, affordability, sustainability centre of discussions at ADIPEC 2022

The energy trilemma of security, affordability and sustainability will be at the centre of discussions when Ministers from 40 countries, policy makers and energy industry leaders gather in Abu Dhabi for ADIPEC 2022 from 31 October to 3 November.

With attendees from more than 160 countries, and featuring 28 dedicated country pavilions, ADIPEC 2022 will be the largest and most inclusive energy forum this year, driving the conversation around a pro-climate, pro-growth energy transition.

Taking place a week before COP27, and as the UAE prepares to host COP28 next year, ADIPEC 2022 will help accelerate pragmatic solutions to the world’s most pressing energy challenges and provide the pathway to navigate a successful and inclusive energy transition.

Tayba Al Hashemi, CEO, ADNOC Sour Gas and ADIPEC 2022 Chair, said: “With rising geopolitical tensions and energy market volatility, the trilemma of secure, affordable and sustainable and energy is a key focus for the world’s economies.

ADIPEC 2022 will bring together the best minds, industry leaders and policy makers, reinforcing Abu Dhabi and the UAE’s status as a unifying and convening power at the center of the global energy dialogue.”
