Jointly organized by the World Energy Council Austria and the OSCE, in co-operation with Ernst & Young and the Federation of Austrian Industries, the seventh edition of the Vienna Energy Security Dialogue will be dedicated to discussing how to foster Energy Security in the long run, taking stock of the various short-term challenges.
As major geopolitical developments unfold and the climate crisis accelerates, global energy systems face heightened risks.

Participants will gain critical insights and actionable strategies to navigate the evolving energy landscape. By fostering discussions on both the latest challenges and forward-looking solutions, the event will aim to support a secure and people-centered energy transition.
