January Panorama
Institute of the Americas
Promoting sound public policy & fostered cooperation between public & private sector stakeholders across the Hemisphere.
Welcome to the January edition of Energy Panorama. Happy belated New Year!
Elections have consequences. Which is also the title and main prompt for our annual outlook document; a theme that has been emphasized dramatically this month. Indeed, if 2024 was the year of elections across the globe, then 2025 is the year?that we seek to understand the consequences and changes in policies derived from citizens voting and ushering in new governments.
Featured Report
Our featured report this month is our 2025 Outlook centered on the consequences of last year’s elections while further contemplating:?
·???????? The role of China
·???????? COP 30 in Brazil
·???????? The Trump administration
·???????? Trade dynamics, particularly USMCA and U-Mercosur?
·???????? The resilience of hydrocarbons?
·???????? Progress toward a global carbon market?
·???????? The role of State-Owned Enterprises?
Each of our Non-Resident Fellows has penned a contribution?that sets forth the outlook from their respective home countries, or in some cases, a more specific topical essay.?Additionally, Riyad?Insanally, former Guyanese ambassador to the United States?authored an essay.?
We are also pleased?to include contributions from graduate students as part of?our?Future Energy Leaders Initiative (FELI): Emily Cary from the University of San Diego and Katrina Haidari from the University of California San Diego. In these turbulent times where funding from many sources is uncertain, we’d be very grateful if you would consider a donation to support this initiative.
