Energy is once again at the centre of global politics, influencing alliances, trade relationships and strategic decisions.
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is not only an environmental issue but also a geopolitical one. Countries rich in oil and gas are adapting to changing demand, while others are investing heavily in new energy technologies.
The United States and China are competing to lead in areas such as clean energy, battery production and electric vehicles.
At the same time, traditional energy suppliers in regions like the Middle East continue to play a crucial role in global markets, particularly as demand for oil and gas remains significant in the short term.
Energy security has become a priority for many countries, especially following disruptions linked to conflicts and supply chain instability.
This has led to diversification strategies, including new partnerships and investments in domestic production.
Experts say the result is a more complex energy landscape, where old and new systems coexist.
The balance between fossil fuels and renewables is likely to shape global politics for decades to come.
