The energy transition is reshaping industries across the globe, driven by an intricate interplay of regulatory mandates, self-imposed industry commitments, and contractual obligations with market implication. As businesses scramble to adapt to evolving sustainability standards, shifting market dynamics, and changing legal frameworks, the risk of disputes is growing. For dispute resolution professionals, understanding these forces is not just useful – it is essential. In this event, experts from the Hague Court of Arbitration for Aviation will take the aviation industry as a case study and will break down what the energy transition really means, how it is being implemented, and the key strategies for preventing, mitigating, and resolving the high-stakes disputes emerging from this massive industry transformation.
You do not need to be an aviation specialist to benefit from this discussion. Every disputes professional dealing with the impact of the energy transition will take away valuable insights. Everyone talks about energy transition and, much like blockchain or AI, it is somewhat of a buzzword people throw around – until they need to navigate the legal commercial realities and the buzzword becomes a reality. This panel cuts through the noise and gives you the clarity you need, discussing all questions that everyone is thinking but no one dares to ask.
