ANS Webinar: International Perspectives on the Role of Nuclear Energy in a Net-Zero Future

Description
The American Nuclear Society invites you to an expert panel discussion on "International Perspectives on the Role of Nuclear Energy in a Net-Zero Future," next Thursday, October 4, from 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET.
Perspectives around nuclear energy's role in the future global economy seem to be changing rapidly internationally as states and governments reconsider the challenges and opportunities around future energy needs. COP can sometimes serve as a lightning rod for all these discussions and the run-up to this year's COP28 is garnering intense discussion around the role of nuclear energy.
Experts from the academic, legal, and civil society community will offer perspectives around just what the main points and issues are within this constantly changing discussion and what the opportunities might be for nuclear energy in and around COP28.
