Transitioning the global economy out of its current reliance on fossil fuels is a massive, complex and nuanced undertaking. Fossil fuels represent 80% of current global energy consumption. The market for them is more than $6 trillion per year. The use of fossil fuels continues to expand faster than the pace at which renewables are being deployed.
In an effort to understand the forces at play in this always dynamic and often turbulent industry environment, the Energy and Natural Resources team at Womble Bond Dickinson has surveyed over 1000 energy sector decision makers, including C-suite executives, investors, and in-house legal counsel.

Join us for a CLE webinar where we will discuss how these energy industry leaders and decision-makers view their readiness and ability to meet net zero goals, share their perspectives on renewable energy technologies and innovation, and highlight some of the legal issues attendant to this massive sea change.
