The Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs Women in Energy initiative invites you to join us for a conversation about careers and opportunities in the energy transition. The event will commence with an overview of the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition. Our featured speakers working in finance, traditional energy, and consulting will then discuss the energy transition. How do they view the energy transition? What roles will be needed as the transition accelerates?
