When the World Shifts: Navigating Geopolitical Risk, Energy Transition, and Climate Disputes in Arbitration

March 10, 2026

Sun Young Hwang will be speaking on a panel titled “When the World Shifts: Navigating Geopolitical Risk, Energy Transition, and Climate Disputes in Arbitration” as part of California Arbitration Week 2026, hosted by JAMS. The panel will explore how today’s “Black Swan” events have become the new normal, and what that means for businesses navigating geopolitical volatility, climate regulation and the global energy transition. From carbon taxes and decarbonisation incentives to the rise of climate related disputes and investor state claims, our speakers will unpack whether uncertainty is accelerating change or putting the brakes on progress, and where the next wave of disputes is likely to emerge.
