A million kilometers of undersea cables transport 95 percent of the world’s internet traffic, and more than 200,000 kilometers of active oil and gas pipelines run across Europe. That physical infrastructure is at risk amid an escalation in hybrid attacks. The attacks on cables and pipelines are across frontiers and jurisdictions, mandating the need for a cross-border, coordinated response. In this special podcast episode produced by POLITICO Studio for Equinor, policy experts and industry leaders come together to discuss the vulnerabilities facing Europe’s energy infrastructure, and the collaborative approach to resilience that is on the rise. Hear from Oana Lungescu, former NATO spokesperson; Petya Barzilska, head of research and policy at the European Initiative for Energy Security; Camilla Salthe, executive vice president for Safety, Security and Sustainability at Equinor; and Emilie Asberg, CEO of Oslo-based deeptech startup Havguard, on the new security responsibilities emerging for Europe’s governments and industries.
