1030 to 1200Caribbean I Ballroom Business Risks of Carbon CountingSession Chairpersons: Mary Ellen Ternes, McAfee & Taft; Deanne Hughes, Cardinal Engineering While the US did not sign the Kyoto Protocol, greenhouse
gas law and regulation have developed mandating
quantifications and reporting of greenhouse gases. New legal requirements
for greenhouse gas emissions give rise to new business risks for
all sources of greenhouse gases. However, voluntary commitments
regarding greenhouse gas emissions, directly or indirectly, and
carbon footprints in other venues also give risk to new areas
of risk. This session introduces the new procession of carbon
counting, and reviews new areas of financial and legal risks resulting
from quantifying direct and indirect generation of greenhouse
gas. |

Caribbean II Ballroom Panel: Engineering EducationThis panel will discuss how the engineering schools are addressing carbon mitigation and adaptation in both in their curriculums and in actual course work. Questions include: (1) How are you teaching carbon mitigation and adaptation technologies to your students (2) What additional education changes regarding carbon management do you see, both planned and in the future (3) What differences have you seen in how we have taught carbon mitigation and adaptation in the past and currently teaching engineering and (4) How receptive is the education community to making these changes?

Caribbean IV Ballroom Issues for Adaptation to Climate ChangeSession Chairpersons: Dick Wright, US National Institute of Standards & Technology (Retired); Brett Johnson, M&H Energy Services In late 2011, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will issue a special report "Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation." It provides a comprehensive assessment of disaster risk, exposure, vulnerability, and resilience and makes recommendations for managing the risks for a sustainable and resilient future. The session explores issues engineering societies should address in order to adapt their standards and practices to climate change effects. It also addresses the issues that private and public sector organizations which own, operate, finance, insure, or regulate constructed facilities should address to manage their risks from climate change effects. |

Caribbean III Ballroom Panel: Carbon Management in the Power SectorThe electric power sector is under substantial pressure to reduce its carbon emissions and shift to clean energy alternatives. Some of these alternatives, such as variable and uncertain resources, impose new requirements on system planning and operations. The challenges are further compounded by rapidly increasing set of new customer options and devices. This session will explore carbon management technology options and experience gained in power generation and power system operations, as well as potential scenarios and responses the industry is anticipating for the future. Panelists will also discuss implications of regulatory issues. Moderators:

Caribbean IV Ballroom Climate Change Effects on Engineering Design EnvironmentsSession Chairpersons: Dick Wright, US National Institute of Standards & Technology (Retired); Michael Meyer, Georgia Institute of Technology Engineering design environments represent the conditions under which the engineered system is expected to be safe and functional during its intended service life. Traditionally, these environments have been based on historical records of environments (temperature, wind velocity, flood elevations, etc.) at the site, but climate change implies that future environments will have statistics different from those of the past. The session presents approaches to defining design environment for safety and functionality in the future. |
