Practical information
Mediterranean countries have to embrace the challenge of balancing the energy needs of their growing populations and economies, with energy security considerations and environmental sustainability commitments, in line with the recent Paris Agreement on climate.
Ifri’s Centre for Energy is hosting a joint roundtable with OME (Observatoire Mediterranéen de l’Énergie) based on OME’s flagship publication, Mediterranean Energy Perspectives 2018 (MEP 2018), which provides an in-depth analysis of the energy sector in the region, a comprehensive overview of its development from past to present, as well as an outlook to 2040 incorporating the latest Paris Agreement targets. The objective is to discuss latest trends in investments and policies, measure progress and challenges ahead in a critical region that represents 7% of the world’s population and experiences strong growth in population and energy demand.
Introduction by Marc-Antoine Eyl-Mazzega – Director, Ifri Centre for Energy
Presentation of the “MEP 2018” report by Houda Allal – General Director of OME, and Lisa Guarrera – Director for Monitoring and Modelling at OME
Discussant: Bruno Lescoeur – Former Edison CEO and Francis Ghilès – Senior Research Fellow, Mediterranean and Middle East, CIDOB Barcelona Centre for International Affairs

Europe in turbulence: navigating a new world order without the United States?
The foundations of the post-1945 international order, long anchored by U.S. leadership, are shifting. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, democratic backsliding, and strategic fatigue in Washington, the question arises: what if the United States no longer plays its pivotal role in international security? Simultaneously, the Global South is asserting new political and economic agency, complicating the old binaries of West vs. Rest. For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.
