Europe is entering a new era of geopolitical volatility. Conflicts and global chokepoints increasingly shape energy security and economic stability.

• Where are new strategic dependencies emerging despite diversification efforts?

• How can Europe develop a more coordinated and resilient response to prolonged geopolitical instability and growing strategic competition?
