The theme for ONS 2020 is “Together”, and the event’s opening video will address the dilemmas and solutions our industry is facing.

Climate change is on top of the agenda, and ensuring access to clean, affordable and reliable energy for the world’s population is a great challenge of mankind. How can we produce the cleanest kinds for energy, and phase out the worst? And how do we make a positive impact for individuals, communities and the environment?

Geopolitical pressure
We see an increasing geopolitical pressure on energy markets, greater uncertainty and higher volatility is now the name of the game. How can we act in unison to stabilise the situation?

It is crucial that the industry continuously evolves and addresses the challenges: together. We need to act together with civil society, institutions and the business community to foster openness and transparency, and to find innovative and sustainable solutions.
