About The Program

The Sustainability and Resilience Program examines how environmental, social, and economic factors influence the long-term stability of energy systems and the communities they serve. The program analyzes risks related to natural disasters, infrastructure vulnerabilities, supply chain constraints, and evolving environmental policies, along with strategies that strengthen system performance and community resilience.

Through independent, data driven research, the program provides insights that help policymakers, industry leaders, and the public plan for future shocks, manage resource constraints, and support sustainable development. Its work highlights the importance of aligning energy, environmental, and economic objectives to build systems that are both resilient and adaptable in a rapidly changing world.
