As the domain where different vectors of the current climate crisis meet and interact, and where conflicts around its regulation are emerging, the atmosphere also produces multiple localities where these transformations can be observed and understood—and sites of mediation can be imagined. Far from being understood in all of its complexity, the atmosphere continues to elude our ability to model its dynamics—or to compute future scenarios.

This year, the Energy Strategies Summit is offering both physical and virtual meeting places for the energy industry. The Energy Strategies Summit will take place in a hybrid format, which will combine the best of a traditional conference at the Order of Engineers and Architects of Beirut with a simultaneous digital conference platform. During the event, a virtual exhibition promoting energy and power projects, financial services and instruments, innovative technologies in energy, green buildings, architects, associations and institutions, will be available on a dedicated platform.
Energy Strategies Summit aims at providing all those interested with insights on possible approaches and actual projects for them to draw a better image of their future steps.
