For many the beginning of the school year means meeting with potential employers and applying for jobs. Join the Center on Global Energy Policy’s Women in Energy program for this timely workshop to improve your networking skills. This workshop will provide participants with the tools that give them the confidence to approach someone and begin a professional relationship. It will be facilitated by Claire Steichen, Professional Certified Coach. Put Your Networking on Automatic using the Free Agent Clarity Approach Claire uses her Free Agent Clarity approach — you are in charge and you have a step by step process. Join us for this workshop so you can stop putting it off, and start following an easy and predictable path to meeting the people who will get you the leads you are looking for. -Get clear on what you want and how you can contribute to the organizations you?d like to work at -Develop an Impact Statement that lets you share your message in an easy, conversational way -Start with friends, family and colleagues you feel comfortable with, and let yourself build from there This event is open only to current female grad students. Since space is limited, RSVPs will be accepted on a first-come basis until capacity is reached. It is being offered at Columbia University and NYU. You are free to participate in whichever session fits our schedule, but please RSVP only to the session you can commit to attending. See the details below.

CGEP scholars reflect on some of the standout issues of the day during this year's Climate Week
Plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the transportation energy landscape, providing a practical alternative to petroleum fuels for a growing number of applications. EV sales grew 55× in the past decade (2014–2024) and 6× since 2020, driven by technological progress enabled by policies to reduce transportation emissions as well as industrial plans motivated by strategic value of EVs for global competitiveness, jobs and geopolitics. In 2024, 22% of passenger cars sold globally were EVs and opportunities for EVs beyond on-road applications are growing, including solutions to electrify off-road vehicles, maritime and aviation. This Review updates and expands our 2020 assessment of the scientific literature and describes the current status and future projections of EV markets, charging infrastructures, vehicle–grid integration and supply chains in the USA. EV is the lowest-emission motorized on-road transportation option, with life-cycle emissions decreasing as electricity emissions continue to decrease. Charging infrastructure grew in line with EV adoption but providing ubiquitous reliable and convenient charging remains a challenge. EVs are reducing electricity costs in several US markets and coordinated EV charging can improve grid resilience and reduce electricity costs for all consumers. The current trajectory of technology improvement and industrial investments points to continued acceleration of EVs. Electric vehicles are increasingly adopted in the USA, with concurrent expansion of charging infrastructure and electricity demand. This Review details these trends and discusses their drivers and broader implications.
