Energy Law and Policy

Overview

The global energy sector today faces multiple challenges as it seeks to balance the often competing priorities of energy security, affordability and environmental sustainability. These include pressures to decarbonise the energy system amidst rapid technological change and increasing demand for energy as well as threats to  energy supplies and markets due to increasing geopolitical instability.

Given this complex and continuously evolving global energy landscape, energy governance is essential as it provides the rules, institutions and processes that guide how energy is produced, transmitted, distributed and consumed.

The Energy Law & Policy Programme is a new programme area which CIL is developing, building on its existing Nuclear Law and Policy Programme, which now forms part of the new and broader Energy Law & Policy Programme. Of interest to the CIL Energy Law and Policy Team are energy governance issues of international importance and/or regional significance, particularly those of a cross-cutting nature.

The CIL Energy Law and Policy Team maintains a dedicated Twitter (X) account @CIL_Energy. It provides updates on the Team's research and/or research activities and shares information on developments of relevance to energy governance at both the international and ASEAN levels.
