38: How to Save the World: The Geopolitics of Energy Transition with Munir Hassan
About this episode
Munir Hassan discusses the geopolitics of energy transition and insights into the clean energy sector.
In this episode, we host our esteemed guest, Munir Hassan, Partner and Head of Energy and Climate Change at CMS, as he shares his insights into the rapidly evolving clean energy sector. He discusses navigating complex commercial and regulatory landscapes, and reflects on his work across global markets including the UK, Europe, Asia, MENA, sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. Munir provides valuable expertise on M&A transactions, project financing, and disputes within the renewable energy space. In particular, the conversation explores carbon credits, the global shift toward clean energy, a project CMS has been working on, and how renewable energy fits into today’s political climate. While the episode was recorded last year, many of the themes discussed remain highly relevant. Students interested in climate change and renewable energy, especially law students considering a career in this field, will gain meaningful insights from this conversation.
