Special Edition Call for Papers: Energy Infrastructure at the Crossroads of Change
The energy sector is a cornerstone of national and global infrastructure, playing a crucial role in economic stability, societal welfare, and environmental sustainability. As it stands at the crossroads of significant change driven by technological advances, policy shifts, and evolving security threats, this special edition seeks to explore the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. What is the most significant vulnerability and what appears to be top priorities within the energy sector – and how do these correlate?
We invite submissions on a broad range of topics related to energy infrastructure.
Special Edition:Pulse Check: Exploring Threats to Critical Infrastructure
In a world increasingly reliant on complex systems, the stability and security of critical infrastructure (CI) have never been more vital. Our infrastructure—from energy grids and transportation networks to water supplies and communication systems—faces an array of threats, including cyberattacks, terrorism, natural disasters, and the escalating impacts of climate change. Understanding and addressing these risks is essential to safeguarding the foundation of modern society.
This edition will provide an in-depth exploration of the many pressing threats and hazards facing critical infrastructure today, with a special focus on the pioneering work of NC-CIPSeR’s Project CANVAS in building and maintaining a threat/hazard library.
