Intensifying geopolitical rivalry, strategic competition in critical technologies and supply chains, and the accelerating climate and energy transition are redefining North America’s strategic landscape over the coming decade. Across the hemisphere, evolving challenges have brought renewed urgency to regional coordination and security cooperation.

The conversation will examine how geopolitical rivalry and shifting global economic blocs are testing North America’s strategic cohesion in a more fragmented international order. Participants will assess how competition in critical technologies, supply chains, and the energy transition is reshaping industrial policy, infrastructure investment, and long-term regional competitiveness. Together, these structural trends will determine whether North America can maintain political resilience and deepen strategic coordination in a more volatile global environment.
