With its ‘Fit-for-55’ package, the European Commission has doubled down on its commitment to net zero. But do recent political and economic developments put this at risk? And what implications does this have for the energy and resources sector, as well as energy intensive industries such as manufacturing, automotive and transportation?

Join Baringa for an evening of insight, discussion and networking as we explore the state of the energy transition in Europe, ask whether progress is at risk and elaborate on how we should respond.

The move to a net zero economy presents a new set of challenges for financial institutions. But it also marks a unique chance to realize the opportunities created by the transition. Central to this is being able to assess your exposure to climate risk, so you can develop a credible transition plan. But in this complex and fast-moving space, how do financial leaders set themselves up for success? Watch the recording of our session at New York City Climate Week where Baringa and BlackRock shared lessons across three areas that are crucial to get right.

• Developing the right approach to scenario analysis and building your data analytics capability. 
• Scoping and realizing your climate risk target state
• Upskilling your people and teams

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has created significant supply insecurity for European consumers.

Baringa’s gas experts outlined potential scenarios for how Europe could cope with a sudden termination of Russian gas flows as we head into the winter months. They posed the question “will the UK and Europe have enough gas this winter?”.

They addressed whether LNG markets will be able to continue to provide additional supplies to Europe and outlined how the UK is likely to manage without long-duration storage in the worse “no Russian gas” scenario.

With the Consumer Duty policy statement due any day, we will be sharing perspectives surrounding the new regulatory expectations. This will be the opportunity to reflect on the final requirements, the implications of these, and how to tackle them in the least disruptive and most cost-effective way.
