Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and retaliatory sanctions against Moscow have caused a global commodities crisis. A succession of supply, price and other economic shocks are already rippling through the international system. With a cascade of political crises – including potentially deadly ones – likely to follow, preventative and preparatory action is urgently needed. The EU and its member states should help mitigate these risks.
This roundtable will assess which countries and regions are most at risk in the medium and long term, and discuss how the EU and member states can provide economic relief to vulnerable states and prevent political crises from metastasising into conflict. The roundtable will convene in person in Brussels, and online, and will bring together experts and policy-makers working on these issues.
