At noon CT on Tuesday, May 24, Center for Houston’s Future and Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) will host a webinar as part of the Center's Energy & Climate Thought Leadership Webcast Series. The webinar will be framed around position papers from HARC's new Climate Risk and Resilience series. This paper, "Powering the Future: Texas Power Sector Pivoting to Climate Resilience," was released last week.

The virtual panel discussion will focus on how the Texas power sector is responding to climate risks in a fast-changing regulatory landscape as well charting a path to a climate-resilient future for the Texas power sector. Points include sector implications around pressures for low-carbon and resilient business operations; what climate-resilience means to power sector stakeholders; and the role of innovation, infrastructure, and incentives.

The virtual panel will feature:
- Jill Cetina, Vice President Banking Supervision, Federal Reserve of Dallas
- Victor Flatt, Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources (EENR), University of Houston
- Amanda Hsieh, Vice President, Environmental, Social, and Governance, ClimeCo

HARC's Vice President of Research, Gavin Dillingham, will moderate the discussion.
