Energy Geography Conference

The Energy and Environment Specialty Group (EESG) of the American Association of Geographers (AAG) recently hosted our 3rd annual Energy Geography Conference, held virtually on Saturday, January 20th, 2024 from 11am-3pm ET. This half-day event included paper presentations and keynote talks on research and practice related to energy geography. The theme of this year’s conference was advancing equitable decarbonization.

The Energy Geography Conference welcomes everyone from undergraduate students to late-career energy geographers (broadly defined). Building on the strengths of the EESG, we intend for this to be a welcoming, inclusive, and friendly space where we can meet, engage, share ideas, collaborate, and build community. In light of the intended interactive nature of this conference, we plan a number of different events transpiring throughout the day, including keynote addresses and research presentations. We kindly ask that participants engage throughout the workshop and submit their presentation or workshop materials in advance of the conference. 

THANK YOU to all our 2024 presenters and participants! 

Stay tuned for the 4th annual Energy Geography Conference, to be held virtually in January 2025.
