Investment Protection in an Age of Armed Conflict: Energy Security, Geopolitical Risk and the Future of Foreign Investment

May 18, 2026 | 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. GMT+3 (Türkiye time) | 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. GMT (London time) | Online

As armed conflicts, geopolitical tensions, and energy security concerns increasingly shape the global investment landscape, investors face growing uncertainty and risk. The assumptions of stability that have traditionally underpinned cross-border investment are being challenged by a rapidly evolving international environment marked by conflict, economic fragmentation, and shifting geopolitical priorities.

This webinar aims to explore the implications of these developments for foreign investment and investment protection. The discussion will consider how armed conflicts and geopolitical instability affect investment flows, investor confidence, and the broader legal and policy frameworks governing international investment. It will also examine the growing significance of energy security considerations and their influence on investment decisions, regulatory responses, and economic policy.

Bringing together experts from the fields of investment law, international dispute resolution, and energy policy, the session will provide a platform for reflecting on the future of investment protection in an increasingly uncertain world and the challenges facing investors, States, and institutions in navigating this evolving landscape.
