Tuesday, October 15 // 10:00 - 11:15 am (ET)
Ukraine’s energy grid has provided reliable access to gas, heat, and power despite more than two years of Russian attacks. Russia’s strategic focus on destroying Ukraine’s energy sector has the country’s suppliers preparing for what may be their most challenging winter yet. Executives from key Ukrainian energy companies will discuss their ongoing work to rebuild damaged or destroyed infrastructure, preparations for winter, and long-term plans for Ukraine’s energy future.
Wednesday October 16 // 10:00–11:00 am (ET)
In his new book, Business of the State: Why State Ownership Matters for Resource Governance, Dr. Jojo Nem Singh explores what effective growth strategies might look like for these states, shifting away from extractivism as a growth model and instead harnessing the development potential of their resources amid strategic competition. Drawing from the experiences of Brazil's Petrobras and Chile's Codelco, the book shares how state-owned enterprises (SOEs)—if paired with governance reforms and aligned with the private sector—could open new pathways for development.

The US – Mexico Kaleidoscope is a binational short film contest and festival that seeks to encourage and curate new narratives about the relationship between the United States and Mexico, and our two societies. The festival, organized by the Mexico Institute, Arizona State University, and the Universidad de Guadalajara, is uniquely binational, bringing together talented participants, jurors, and institutions from both countries. Join us for a screening of this year's winning films, followed by a talkback with filmmakers and a panel of experts on the bilateral relationship.
Friday, October 18 // 10:00 –11:00 am (ET)
Join us for a discussion of a new report that breaks down the end to end supply chains supporting Russia's artillery, from the sourcing of raw materials and machine tooling, to the manufacture of guns and ammunition, its storage, and transportation. The report identifies a number of areas where targeted disruption could have a tangible impact on Russia's artillery and help redress the imbalance between Russia and Ukraine. At this event the authors will detail the key findings and offer policy recommendations. The findings may be directly focused on artillery, but the approach presented has applicability to other adversary capabilities and indeed to other adversaries and competitors, from Iran to China.
Friday, October 18 // 12:15 –3:00 pm (ET)
The Forum on Advancing Inclusive Climate Action in Foreign Policy and Development is held in collaboration with the White House and USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance. The Forum will address the longstanding connections between foreign policy, environmental justice, and climate change, and the increasingly pressing questions on how to develop and apply more effective and inclusive frameworks that benefit the populations most adversely impacted by climate change.
