Aleh Cherp presented his research results on global energy security in the 21st century at the Annual Conference of the Asia and the Pacific Policy Studies organized by the Cawford School of Public Policy of Australian National University in Canberra in preparation for the G20 summit in Australia later this year. According to Prof. Cherp, in the absence of strong climate mitigation policies, the global energy landscape is likely to be dominated by very large trade flows of fossil fuels, primarily coal and oil originating in North America and other exporting regions and imported by large Asian economies. He also described securitization of energy policy in such countries as China based on observations from his research.
