Episode 19: Climate and Energy Resilience with Dr. Alice Hill (Copy)

In Episode 19, Michael and Chloe Young, Energy Terminal’s Director of Partnerships, are joined by Dr. Alice Hill, David M. Rubenstein senior fellow for energy and the environment at the Council on Foreign Relations. Dr. Hill is a thought leader, author, and policy maker who has written two books on climate resilience. Previously, she served as special assistant to President Barack Obama and as Senior Director for Resilience Policy on the National Security Council, where she led the development of national policy to build resilience to catastrophic risks. The episode draws on Dr. Hill’s extensive experience in the public sector to identify the most-needed policy developments, how we can succeed in getting pro-energy policies passed, and where students can get involved. We then talk about the specific ways public and private entities can implement to increase our energy system’s resilience to climate threats and how we can combine technical and policy strategies to maximize effectiveness.
