Between the resurgence of nationalism, the growth of energy-hungry middle-income economies, and the reassertion of a few eternal facts of economic life, large-scale, ambitious multinational climate appears to be on the wane.

Please join CEI for a lunch discussion with Writer-in-Residence Kevin D. Williamson on the decline of climate activism as a popular global movement and what this means for the political and regulatory environment facing the energy industry. 

When: 12:00 – 1:30 pm, Thursday, April 16, 2026

Where: Dallas Petroleum Club, 1900 North Akard Street, Suite 1400, Dallas, TX 75201
