The Science and Policy of the Just Energy Transition

The recognition that social injustice is tied to our existing, fossil-fuel intensive economy has led to important calls for a ‘climate-justice’ nexus to protect the planet, people, and nature. The challenge is to turn that vision into clear science-based initiatives programmes, and social movements.

On April 3, Daniel Kammen, Professor of Sustainability at the University of California, Berkeley, will highlight examples and challenges in materials discovery and deployment, and advance modeling techniques to work within and beyond sectors as examples of challenges where new thinking, entrepreneurs, and approaches to social justice are all needed.

This event is co-hosted by the Mansueto Institute and the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth.
