Session 2: Intro to Policy's Role in the Clean Energy Transition
Duke students, are you interested in energy but don't know where to start? Duke University's Power Up series will introduce you to current issues and trends in this rapidly evolving sector.
As climate change and its impacts intensify, the decarbonization of energy systems is a pressing priority for humanity. Our Power Up series will provide an overview of the many factors that will shape our energy future. Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot!
We'll touch on market forces, policy challenges, emerging technologies, and more! You'll leave feeling more interested in this dynamic sector and more prepared to talk with energy industry professionals at networking events this fall.
There's so much material to cover, we need two sessions! Students are highly encouraged to attend both sessions, but it's also okay to sign up for only one if your schedule doesn't allow for both.
These sessions are open to any Duke undergraduate or graduate student. No previous energy knowledge is necessary.
Organized by the Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability.
