Cybersecurity and the Clean Energy Transition Dialogue

Friday • 10:00am–11:30am PST • Banatao Auditorium

The ability of the US and other countries to meet their clean energy and climate commitments will depend partly on how well we can design secure new, distributed renewable energy infrastructure and train a workforce to manage it — and how well the climate and clean energy and cybersecurity communities are working together.

Join the Institute for Security and Technology and the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity for a dialogue about what we can learn from how each community manages risk, and what steps we need to take now to ensure that cybersecurity is an enabler for an ambitious and rapid-scale clean energy transition.
