Join this month's Society, Culture and Environment seminar by Zoom or in-person in Exploratory Hall 3301 on Fri., March 24 at 3:30 p.m.
Dr. Jennifer Sklarew will present on "Building Resilient Energy Systems: Lessons from Japan.”
This seminar will focus on unique, universal lessons for local to international cooperation on innovation and energy system resilience, derived from Dr. Jennifer Sklarew’s recently released book, Building Resilient Energy Systems: Lessons from Japan. Dr. Sklarew will highlight how diverse stakeholders’ resilience priorities influence responses to energy system shocks, shaping energy policies and energy system resilience. Her insights emerge from her analysis of Japan’s energy system resilience trajectory from the 1970s oil crises through the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
