ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Energy security is becoming an increasingly critical issue globally and in North America as the continent faces a range of risks that have the potential to undermine the stability and reliability of energy resources and supplies. These risks are multifaceted and include geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions and changes, the impact of climate change, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities, all of which can disrupt energy production and distribution, and which have far-reaching economic, social, and security implications.
Join the University of Houston’s energy and climate law experts, energy general counsel, and Blank Rome attorneys at the Law Center’s new state-of-the-art John M. O’Quinn Law Building for an interactive discussion of the issues. Speakers will examine the various challenges facing the energy industry in North America and explore strategies for addressing these issues in the context of the ever-evolving political and environmental landscape.
Topics include:
- Geo-Political Risks: Understanding and navigating the impact of political decisions on energy supplies
- Climate Change Impacts: Examining the effects of changing weather patterns on electricity and energy supplies and exploring mitigation strategies and policies
- Privacy and Cybersecurity Risks: Analyzing the challenges of protecting energy infrastructure and confidential consumer information in the face of intensifying cyberattacks
