Risk Quarterly
Issue 6 - Q2 2026
Stay ahead of shifting risk dynamics with Risk Quarterly, Clyde & Co's publication for business leaders navigating an increasingly interconnected and rapidly evolving global environment. This edition explores how the energy transition, digital infrastructure and emerging technologies are reshaping strategic risk, creating new opportunities alongside complex legal, commercial and operational challenges.
This edition examines the convergence of energy, technology and infrastructure, and why these interconnected forces are becoming central to business resilience and long-term growth.
Our lead article, written by leading energy economist Christof Rühl, explores how energy security is redefining the global energy transition. As organisations pursue decarbonisation while accelerating digital transformation, businesses must navigate growing energy demand, infrastructure constraints and an increasingly uncertain geopolitical environment.
Across the publication, our experts examine the renewed role of nuclear energy, grid connections reform, contractual risk in major energy projects, the rapid growth of data centres, AI and sustainability, operational resilience, insurance implications, and insights from our latest Corporate Risk Radar research.
Together, these articles provide practical perspectives on how organisations can manage increasingly interconnected risks while identifying opportunities in a rapidly changing global landscape.
