Building clean and resilient energy systems is essential for addressing climate change, ensuring energy security, fostering economic growth, protecting public health, and promoting sustainable development. The event will provide a forum to discuss robust and resilient clean energy systems. With all energy technologies — including grid systems — impacted in some way by climate change, a diversity of clean energy options can strengthen overall energy system resilience. In this context, nuclear energy has demonstrated its robustness to a range of climate challenges including droughts, heat waves and flooding.
