The Atlantic Council, building on the solid track record of its Energy and Environment Program and its Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Center in working on energy and regional issues, assembled a top-notch group of experts with wide-ranging experience and background in government, academia, think tanks, and industry. The Eurasian Energy Futures team helps decision-makers engage with stakeholders from industry, government, and NGOs and chart a course for sustainable development and trade of global energy resources. We work together with key political leaders, thinkers, analysts, and the top industrial players in the United States, Europe, and Eurasia to lead a strategic debate on the future of energy markets, produce papers on strategic Eurasian energy issues, and organize roundtable discussions, strategy sessions, workshops, and multi-day conferences.Iran Task Force

Through Atlantic Council issue briefs, reports, and public and private meetings with key experts on Iran, the Task Force seeks to answer the question of whether there are elements within the country and region that can build the basis for an improved relationship with the West and how these elements, if they exist, could be utilized by US policymakers. The objective is to develop an accurate assessment of the challenges we face.Middle East Peace and Security
