Energy – its cost, availability, and sustainability will define the economic, political, and environmental future of the world. The Wilson Center’s Global Energy Initiative (GEI) is a Center-wide program focusing on the current and future prospects for energy security and sustainability.
The Global Energy Initiative highlights the potential for energy security through conservation, the development and deployment of new energy technologies, and the exploration of alternative energy strategies.
Building on regional programs that cover the world, the GEI examines and brings a nonpartisan perspective to the rapidly evolving geopolitics of energy. It also explores the political context of producer-country decision-making on energy issues. By detailing energy developments around the world, the GEI complements the ongoing Wilson Center work on economic development, the environment, and international security.
The GEI creates a dialogue among policy makers, leading scholars, and private sector leaders to clarify the policy options suggested by a growing body of research and policy analysis. The GEI examines the area where technology, economics, and new policies intersect to explore viable strategies for the energy future.
