Seminar on "The Economics of Climate Risk Management in Power Infrastructure" by Dr. Ali Arbnya
We're thrilled to share insights from the recent seminar facilitated by Dr. Payman Dehghanian, Associate Professor at George Washington University's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) titled "The Economics of Climate Risk Management in Power Infrastructure". The seminar was presented by Dr. Ali Arbnya, Director of Infrastructure Finance & Climate Risk at Quanta Technology.
Dr. Ali delves into the complex challenges and opportunities in addressing climate change within the context of electrical power and energy systems. It emphasizes the necessity of both adaptation and mitigation strategies to ensure the resilience and sustainability of these systems in the face of climate-related threats.
The seminar discusses the economic dimensions of climate adaptation in electric power infrastructure, exploring decision-making processes and the integration of resilience measures. It introduces a risk management framework tailored specifically for power infrastructure systems to mitigate climate shocks. Furthermore, it highlights emerging practices within the power and energy industry aimed at economically managing climate risk and enhancing infrastructure resilience.
Dr. Ali Arbnya brings a wealth of experience to the discussion, drawing from his background as the Director of Infrastructure Finance & Climate Risk at Quanta Technology, as well as his previous roles with the World Bank Group, University of Denver, and Protiviti. His expertise in both economics and engineering informs the seminar's exploration of techno-socio-economic concepts and mechanisms essential for sustainable climate risk management in power infrastructure.
Stay tuned for more events bridging academia and industry to tackle the challenges of climate change!
