ECIPE Webinar: The Impact of Nord Stream 2 on Europe
Is greed and folly shaping Europe’s security?
Work to complete the Nord Stream 2 pipeline has now re-started, but there are still fundamental concerns about this energy project and its consequences for Europe. How will it impact gas supply in Europe? What are the consequences for energy security and diversification?
