SUMMARY:International Conference on Climate Change & the Role of Nuclear P
 ower
DESCRIPTION:The International Conference on Climate Change & the Role of N
 uclear Power will take place from 7-11 October 2019\, in Vienna (Austria).
  It is organised by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in coope
 ration with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OE
 CD) and Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA). The conference will provide an opport
 unity to discuss mainstreaming nuclear power as a low-carbon energy source
  and its role in combating climate change. Purpose and themes The purpose 
 of the conference is to provide a forum for the exchange of information on
  the role of nuclear power\, and on the opportunities and challenges of sa
 fe\, secure and safeguarded nuclear technology development in supporting t
 he low carbon energy transformation needed to achieve the climate change g
 oals. The conference themes include a description of the mitigation challe
 nge\, implications for the power sector\, environmental perspectives\, and
  potential roles of existing\, evolutionary and innovative nuclear power s
 ystems\, including the integration of nuclear/renewable energy systems. Ta
 rget audience The IAEA seeks to bring together member states\, representat
 ives of relevant low-carbon energy sectors\, international organisations\,
  and other parties. Topics The IAEA welcomes high-quality contributions th
 at fall under the umbrella of the six topics listed below: Advancing energ
 y policies that achieve the climate change goals: – How nuclear power can 
 contribute when planning for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) upd
 ates The increasing contribution of nuclear power in the mitigation of cli
 mate change\, including synergies with other low-carbon power generation s
 ources: – Challenges and opportunities for existing nuclear power plants w
 ith respect to the continuous contribution to the avoidance of greenhouse 
 gas (GHG) emissions – How nuclear power can add a large volume of sustaina
 ble clean energy for electricity generation and non-electric applications\
 , including through integration into hybrid energy systems – Synergies bet
 ween nuclear power and other low carbon energy sources Development and dep
 loyment of advanced nuclear power technologies to increase the use of low-
 carbon energy: – Challenges associated with the rapid introduction of new 
 nuclear power technologies into the market\, and the implementation of eff
 ective regulatory processes – How to reduce GHGs in each stage of the nucl
 ear fuel cycle\, from front end to back end Shaping the future of the nucl
 ear industry in regulated and deregulated energy markets to address climat
 e change: – How to ensure the availability of resources\, including attrac
 ting finance and ensuring competitiveness of new nuclear power projects En
 hancing international cooperation and partnership in nuclear power deploym
 ent: – How to facilitate and foster development and deployment of nuclear 
 power technologies through international cooperation and partnerships\, in
 cluding with organisations and partners of other low carbon technologies P
 ublic and non-nuclear stakeholders’ perception of the role of nuclear powe
 r in climate change mitigation: – How to engage with the public and open e
 ffective channels of communication with other stakeholders in the field of
  energy\, environment and climate change
