Venue: Singapore Theatre, Basement, Melbourne School of Design
Presenters: Professor Michael Grubb
The energy sector globally has entered an era of radical transition. Driven by combinations of technological change and environmental concerns from the local to the global, the change is most obvious in the electricity sector but will spread far more widely. Government policy may help or hinder the transition, but the momentum including from pro-active businesses and social movements make it ultimately unstoppable.
Drawing on Professor Grubb’s book Planetary Economics: energy, climate change and the three domains of sustainable development, this talk maps out the theory, sketches emerging experiences, and offers some initial lessons for a transition which – if handled well – can leave the 21st Century cleaner, smarter, and wealthier.
Michael Grubb is Professor of International Energy and Climate Change Policy at University College London (Institute of Sustainable Resources) and Senior Advisor to the UK Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (the Energy Regulator OFGEM).
