Impacts from climate change, like sea level rise and an increase in extreme weather events, are at the forefront of military operations and planning in Norfolk, Virginia.
IUU fishing is rapidly becoming a primary maritime security concern both in the U.S. and for our allies and partners. It has widespread impacts on both economies and security, from the cost of seafood itself to transshipment and human trafficking.
Through trade policy, policymakers can build environmentally sustainable supply chains, incentivize renewable energy investment, and make the green economy a profitable pursuit.
A video and recap of this event is available here. Russia’s war in Ukraine has caused a great deal of turmoil in global energy markets and forced a conversation […]
West Virginia plays a critical role in U.S. energy supply. What's the future of clean energy in a state where coal is king?
A recap and video of this event is available here. Please join us on Wednesday, August 31, for a conversation with Congressman Scott Peters (D-CA) to discuss how to […]
Renewable energy and electrification play a critical role in the clean energy transition. Please join us on Wednesday, November 16, for ASP’s first installment of the Innovating Out of the Climate Crisis series, focused on innovation and policy implications for electrification.
The rapid growth in electric vehicles (EVs) today is part of a fundamental shift in transportation. Building on ASP's important work in the state of Florida, we're partnering with the Electrification Coalition for an upcoming in-person event that explores the implications of increased electrification in rural Florida and the connections to national security.
In the coming decades, climate change will make farmers’ jobs more difficult than ever, as rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and spreading pests all take their toll on production. But agriculture is not a neutral actor: emissions from the sector account for more than 10 percent of the U.S. total, only marginally less than those from all commercial businesses and residences. Join ASP for a discussion on how innovation in agriculture—including advances in biotech, animal husbandry, soil and nutrient management, and more—can help agriculture adapt to climate change, reduce emissions, or even become a net carbon sink.
Heavy industry, including steel, cement, and chemical manufacturing account for approximately 30 percent of global carbon emissions. But, with demand for these industries projected to grow in the coming decades at the same time that scientists say that we must reach net zero, it is essential to find new approaches to cutting emissions from these industries. Please join us for the fifth installment of the Innovating Out of the Climate Crisis webinar series focused on hard to abate sectors, the role they play in global economics, and the policy and technological developments needed to facilitate climate-friendly manufacturing.
