Energy Plays in a Carbon-Constrained World
Francesco Guerrera, Helima Croft, Philippe Ducom, Philip Lambert, Anil Srivastava
A diverse panel of energy experts, including Philip Kinsella of ExxonMobil and Anil Thadani, affirmed the consensus on climate change while arguing that aggressive decarbonization policies risk global supply shortages and economic disruption. The discussion highlighted the necessity of a diversified energy mix involving gas, efficiency, and emerging technologies like carbon capture to meet projected demand increases of 25% by 2040 without relying solely on intermittently available renewables. Panelists warned that premature regulatory bans on fossil fuels and internal combustion engines could drive stranded assets, increase emissions through coal substitution, and threaten millions of jobs within the global automotive and energy sectors.

London Falling? Fact vs. Fiction
Francesco Guerrera, Bruce Carnegie-Brown, Kevin Klowden, Howard Shore, Hubertus Väth, Jasmine Whitbread
A diverse panel of financial leaders and policymakers debates the impact of Brexit on London's status as a global city, contrasting Hubertus Frankfurt's claims of imminent job losses with Howard Shaw's view that the metropolis will remain a top-tier hub. While experts emphasize that London's future depends on retaining international talent and resolving housing deficits, regulatory pressures are already forcing major institutions to relocate operations to Frankfurt and Brussels to mitigate uncertainty. Ultimately, the consensus identifies prolonged ambiguity in government strategy and immigration policy as the most immediate threat to business confidence, outweighing the specifics of the final deal.
