Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy for a public lecture by Lady Barbara Judge CBE, Former Chairman of the UK Atomic Energy Authority and currently Deputy Chairman of TEPCO's Nuclear Reform Monitoring Committee and head of its task force on nuclear safety.

Lady Judge will discuss the state of nuclear policy following the Fukushima accident, how Fukushima has affected global nuclear policy, and whether nuclear power will remain an important and viable part of the global energy mix. Merit Janow, Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs, will introduce Lady Judge and provide opening remarks. Center Director Jason Bordoff will moderate a discussion following the presentation.

Registration is required. This event is open to press. 

NOTE: Following Lady Judges lecture, the Center on Global Energy Policy will also inaugurate its Women in Energy Program by convening female students for an opportunity to discuss career paths in energy and related issues with Lady Judge (separate invitations will be sent). The Columbia Women in Energy Program will bring leading women from the energy industry, energy finance, and energy policy to Columbia University for informal dialogue with female students interested in entering the energy field. Working with top female energy leaders, the Center develops and executes programming to support career opportunities for young women at Columbia to increase the presence of women in senior management positions in the energy sector.
