The GRP will host a two-day in-person event with interactive serious gaming scenarios to explore opportunities, obstacles, and potential synergies related to implementing a safe, just, and equitable energy transition. The GRP will invite experts to participate from federal, state, and local government agencies; academia; nongovernmental organizations; industry; and other community and environmental stakeholders. This event will support the GRP’s efforts to influence and impact the energy transition by encouraging collaboration among participants, anticipating future barriers and obstacles, and developing areas of future efforts.
The GRP has designed the exercises to do the following:
1. Explore progress-to-date, opportunities, capabilities, and impediments to implementing an energy transition and compare this with our current national and regional energy transition goals.
2. Discuss technical and non-technical gaps that would require attention in order to support an energy transition, with an emphasis on safety and environmental justice in the Gulf of Mexico.
3. Foster a community built on the participants that extends beyond the event to support the development of follow-on activities and the broader initiative to influence and impact a safe and just energy transition in the Gulf of Mexico.
