Topic: How Has the Ukraine War Altered the Energy World

Speaker:  Mr. David Edick, Jr., global political economist and Principal of Core Global Advisory

CPE credit: 1.0 hour will be given to all participants requesting it, and who are present for the presentation

Presentation:
We are very pleased to welcome back as our speaker Mr. David Edick, Jr., global political economist and Principal of Core Global Advisory, a consultancy focused on commodities, political risk, geopolitics and market strategy.  With the Ukraine war now ongoing for over a year, it has had longterm - perhaps permanent - impacts on who buys what types of energy, and from where. That in turn has massive effects across multiple industries and populations, as well as on issues like climate change. What began as  Putin's attempt at a quick and illegal land grab -- the first such since World War II -- has evolved into an engine of economic reorientation from the US through western Europe to south and east Asia. David will illuminate the emergent energy landscape and highlight trends that will affect future business, investment and profitability – both here at home and abroad.
