Well lets find out whats behind the decision and can the new man do any better able to help us answer those questions im joined by richard malice and a cofounder of Energy Aspects<\/a> a Senior Energy<\/a> analyst there thanks very much for being with us so whats behind this move then to get rid of in fairly. Well i think its hard to see it as anything other than a loss of confidence in his ability to handle some of his portfolio and i think thats probably primarily about crown Prince Mohammed<\/a> bin someone whos very central obviously to Decision Making<\/a> in the kingdom losing that personal confidence that hes the right man for the job and was that also about the failure to deliver High Oil Prices<\/a> because saudi arabia needs needs needs to be at a certain price to deliver its budget i think its a bit simplistic to just say that saudi arabia needs a particular budget clearly its run a deficit budget for a number of years it can do that but the there are downsides and saudi arabia has ambitious investment plans vision 2030 and other areas and so i think certainly the slow progress is probably the saudis would see it towards achieving a more balanced market and the part the price increases theyd expect to come with that is going to be a big part of whats driven this change does this is what changed the relationship with opec plus in particular with with with russia it was it was for the contaminated dorrell shipped to Europe Russia<\/a> would that not be in compliance with its commitment to cut production. Its a good question clearly her father was very active and involved in the engagement with russia and the other opec plus members but i think that sound the russian cooperation goes to a much higher political level so we saw a lot of links between the crown prince and president putin on the russian side and i think that engagement is going to outlast the the departure of us all i think really what were looking at is an alignment of interests for saudi arabia and russia certainly as far as the Cooperation Agreement<\/a> its not a perfectly easy partnership there will be strains down the line and it may not last forever but i think for now at least both countries are looking at having similar interests and seeing the benefits of working together and that will remain the case and we mentioned as well the break with precedent in making this appointment why why is the house of sowed seemingly keen on controlling the Energy Ministry<\/a> because thats something they voted in the past well i think its possible to read too much into the fact that the new or the new minister is a member of the house the royal family because when you look at his background he spent several decades as a deputy and other oil minister in a very very deeply involved in this industry hes very experienced i think hes perceived both within the kingdom and they will hope by the oil markets as a safe pair of hands on experience on the person when it comes to oil markets so i think the fact that hes a cramp sorry a prince and the fact that hes a half brother of the crown prince isnt the relevant factor here its much more that he is knowledgeable about the portfolio and hes seen as someone who wont rock the boat when it comes to policy but hes a sarah hes inheriting the same low oil prices so what can he possibly do that hasnt been done before. I mean thats absolutely true and thats why i dont think were going to see a dramatically different policy i think we may see a different style of communication perhaps maybe a move back towards an approach that we saw in the past from saudi arabia where there was less talk there was less comment to the press there was a narrower focus on a message that the kingdom wants to communicate or markets and i mean what weve seen particular in recent months is a more proactive style that hasnt really had the desired results are really trying to talk prices up at times and we just havent seen prices react in the way the probably was intended in riyadh so i think a move back to a quieter form of communication but not a shift in the underlying oil policy so will this help at the crown princes move to to float around co that well i think the change of oil minister not that wont be very significant but actually one of the changes that occurred just before hand the change of chairmanship around coach does signal and we need effort to push forward with the i. P. O. And i think the other thing that were seeing is reports about i. P. O. Will probably begin with a domestic listing which will be easier to achieve fewer barriers fewer regulator requirements so it seems very clear that the push to make the i. P. O. Happen and happen sooner rather than later is ongoing the real question for the crown prince of course is at what price will that listing happen and that is very tied up with the oil price and because i dont think this new Energy Minister<\/a> can deliver a miraculously Higher Oil Prices<\/a> anytime soon we may still not see the i. P. O. Happening at the levels that the crown prince would ideally want richard mallets and thanks for being with us my pleasure. Earlier this year the california based utility pacific gas and electric filed for bankruptcy protection as costs related to wildfires ballooned it was probably one of the clearest cases of how Climate Change<\/a> wiped out a company that hadnt done enough to prepare for a warming planet p. G. And e. Faced approximately 30000000000. 00 in liabilities as a result of its role in the 20172018 fires state investigators linked 100. 00 deaths to the fires the federal judge william also blamed the cause of some of the fires on the utilities negligence judge also said the utility paid 4500000000. 00 to shareholders in dividends over the past 5 years while failing to take adequate safety precautions germanys car industry is facing up to the threat of losing its crown as the leading center for production a series of missteps from diesel cheating scandals to the lack of preparedness for the end of the Combustion Engine<\/a> has left the road open to tesla and chinese electric brands an industry that employs more than 800000 people is facing a make or break moment. A both cases raise many questions are businesses doing enough to prepare for Climate Change<\/a> or do executives have their heads in the sand according to the Global Commission<\/a> on adaptation businesses need to plan more for a warming planet companies that do not adapt may not survive it claims investing 1. 00 trillion dollars to climate proof businesses and the broader economy by 2030 could generate 7. 00 trillion in net benefits half the worlds Biggest Companies<\/a> believe Climate Adaptation<\/a> could result in 236000000000. 00 in increased revenues economists have long argued that putting a price on greenhouse emissions is the fast this way for business to make changes in the 4000 firms with revenue of about 7 trillion dollars already participate in some form of Carbon Pricing<\/a> i want to the authors of that report is fake its a best mochy for executives of Dutch Life Sciences<\/a> Company Royal<\/a> d. S. M. I cannot mix editor abbott alley caught up with him and began by asking what signal was being sent to businesses with the lack of political will from the likes of President Trump<\/a> who withdrew from the paris Climate Change<\/a> accord. Well not everybody as i sat is making the right step up himself climates mitigation and we should because we have agreed to on the nations same pairs in 2015 but i think all countries in a world where do you step up on Climate Mitigation<\/a> or not need to protect your own people your own business is the most vulnerable in the world so every nation every company in the world need to step up on Climate Adaptation<\/a> in your own interests and i think we need to do for things such pressure to 1st of all create more transparency on how Climate Risks<\/a> are influencing you as a country and every country is exposed for you as a basis in terms of fuel supply chain in terms of your locations or whatever it turns pregnancy and also reinvest us that is very important secondly you need to protect your own operations taking care of your own supply chain if you talk about food and Agricultural Products<\/a> or flooding sites or drought state your workers cannot come to your sites certainly you need to focus on innovation trying to do new products new solutions and as a company you can make money and as a society you are served by those innovations we for example make the oceans more resilient for fishing we make.
