"Energy security is traditionally defined as a government's efforts to ensure energy supply at a good price"

- Suhnaz Yilmaz from @kocuniversity

/2
"The EU adopts a comprehensive approach, going beyond the notion of uninterrupted supply and affordability to highlight issues of sustainability and environmental concerns"

- Suhnaz Yilmaz from @kocuniversity

/3
"While #COVID19 has posed challenges, foreign policy dynamics have made unclear how sustainability and environment concerns will factor into recovery"

- Suhnaz Yilmaz from @kocuniversity

/4
"World Population is expected to increase (on current trends) from 7.4bn to more the 9bn in 2040. It is not only a growing population, but a rapidly urbanising population"

- Suhnaz Yilmaz from @kocuniversity

/5
"Global energy needs will expand by 40% by 2040, adding the equivalent of another China or India to the global demand"

- Suhnaz Yilmaz from @kocuniversity

/6
"With the increasing dependence of OECD countries on oil local to Turkey, Turkey's role has increased as a diversification option for Europe to diversify its energy supply from Russia"

- Suhnaz Yilmaz from @kocuniversity

/7
After the excellent presentation of Suhnaz Yilmaz from @kocuniversity, we turn to @MarcoSiddi from @FIIA_fi to give his perspective on the issue of energy politics in the Black Sea region

/8
"Turkish gas demand is significant, but the EU's import dependence is substantial: Russia plays a very important role in this"

- @MarcoSiddi from @FIIA_fi

/9
"Ukraine is a consumer, but also an important transit country. In the 2000s, 80% of Russian gas exports went through Ukraine. Now, due to NordStream, this number is still as high as 50%"

- @MarcoSiddi from @FIIA_fi

/10
"The 2014 Ukraine Crisis and the state of conflict led to new concerns in Europe about the security of energy supply from Russia"

- @MarcoSiddi from @FIIA_fi

/11
On that note, this #VIADUCT_EU Guest Lecture moves into the Q&A section

That's it for this #VIADUCT_EU Guest Lecture, but we're not done yet!

Tune in later for another at 16:00!
