Can Climate Change Policies and Hydrocarbons Live Together in the Middle East and North Africa? – Watch the Webcast

Alain Kfoury

17 September 2015, Beirut

At this year’s G7 summit, world leaders signaled the end of the fossil fuel era that has been driving world economies since the Industrial Revolution, and hinted at harder targets for the December Paris meeting on climate change. These new targets and shifts in energy policies will have important implications for Middle East and North Africa oil and gas producers.

The Carnegie Middle East Center, in association with the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies, brought together a panel of international and regional energy experts to discuss whether the Middle East and North Africa can be a major oil- and gas-producing (and consuming) region, while also committing to reducing carbon emissions.
