Cross-Border Currents: Insights Into Future U.S.-Canada Energy Dynamics
Join Us at Climate Week NYC
Expert Discussion & Fireside Chat
The U.S. and Canada have a longstanding and essential collaboration and interdependence on energy which deserves broader understanding and focus. Cross-Border Currents: Insights Into Future U.S.-Canada Energy Dynamics will include an expert discussion on the binational energy transition investment landscape, and a fireside chat focused on the future of the U.S.-Canada energy cooperation.
Speakers include:
- Jennifer Granholm, former U.S. Energy Secretary
- Jonathan Wilkinson, former Canadian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources
- Brian Lawson, Vice Chair and Director, Brookfield Corporation
- Vijay Vaitheeswaran, Global Energy and Climate Innovation Editor at The Economist
- Hilkka Komulainen, Global Head of Sustainability and Impact, Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners
The U.S. and Canada are each other’s primary source of imported energy, and the countries are each other’s top overall export markets. Robust transboundary infrastructure and deeply intertwined supply chains support the exchange of almost $3 billion worth of goods across the U.S.-Canada border each day. This is a dynamic moment for the U.S.-Canada partnership, and while the road ahead is uncertain, the stakes of this historic and unique relationship could not be higher.
