Conference with Espen Barth Eide, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway
Practical information
Accessibility
Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022, Norway has become the European Union’s leading supplier of gas. This position could be further strengthened given the ongoing war in the Middle East.
Beyond the issue of energy, how does the Norwegian government view the current crises, and what means does it have to act within its regional environment (notably in the Arctic) and, more broadly, on the international stage? How does Norway - sharing a border with Russia and having been a member of NATO since its founding – approach the security of the Euro-Atlantic area? These are some of the questions that will be discussed during this conversation with Espen Barth Eide, Norway’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Discussion moderated by Marc Hecker, Ifri's Executive Director.

COP31 in Antalaya: State of the Global Climate Governance, Issues, Perspectives
COPs have become a year-end marathon to revigorate a world now entering the era of climate overshoot. While Türkiye exhibits the largest coal-fired power generation in OECD Europe, it has embraced the electrification agenda and aims at joining forces with Australia on fostering action and implementation. This is an unusual de facto co-presidency arrangement, but one that could yield promising results. This webinar will take stock of what climate governance has achieved and of the issues still to be negotiated, and explore what impetus this Turkish–Australian partnership could provide.
