Overview
The event will convene regional government delegations, experts from think tanks and academia, civil society, and international finance institutions to discuss the principal findings and implications of the new dossier, The War on Iran, Economic Diversification, and Green Industrialization in MENA, convened by the Carboun Institute and supported by Open Society Foundations.
The dossier brings together nine contributors to examine whether the Iran war will accelerate the region’s transition away from hydrocarbon dependence or reinforce and prolong the existing political economy of fossil-fuel dependence.
The event begins with a networking light lunch. It will feature keynote speeches by Mahmoud Mohieldin, United Nations Special Envoy on Financing the 2030 Agenda, and Jayati Ghosh, Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and founder-Secretary of IDEAs.
