    From $100 Oil to Extreme Heat: Can Technology Reduce Energy Vulnerability?

    Record-breaking heat across Europe is placing growing pressure on critical infrastructure. At the same time, oil prices climbed above $100 per barrel earlier this year as geopolitical tensions once again exposed vulnerabilities in global energy markets. These are not isolated crises, but different sides of the same coin. And prompts the question, how can we build energy systems that remain reliable in an increasingly volatile world? A new generation of technologies is beginning to change that equation. This session explores how new technologies like direct lithium extraction and everything-to-grid energy are changing how energy is produced, managed and consumed. This is the full audio from a studio discussion recorded on 9 July, 2026. Speakers:  Volker Sick, Arthur F.

    AMNC26: Renminbi and the World

    More than $150 trillion moves across borders each year through the global financial system, the vast majority of it still denominated in dollars. As geopolitical tensions fragment trade relationships and middle powers look to diversify their financial exposure, alternative currencies are gaining quiet traction, such as the recent renewal of a 200-billion-yuan swap line between the Bank of Canada and the People's Bank of China. How might a growing willingness among these economies to transact in alternative currencies reshape the structure, stability and sovereignty of the international financial system? Speakers: Diana Choyleva, Founder and Chief Economist, Enodo Economics, Senior Fellow, Asia Society Policy Institute Robin Harding, Asia Editor, The Financial Times Zongyuan Zoe Liu, Senior Fellow, China Studies, Council on Foreign Relations Ashor Nick Sarupen, Deputy Minister of Finance, Ministry of Finance of South Africa Zhu Ning, Deputy Dean and Professor of Finance, Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance This is the full audio from a session at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2026 in Dalian, China on 23-25 June, 2026.
