Course description

This course examines the fundamental importance of energy transitions for achieving sustainable development. During the course, students will explore a variety of global change issues including resource depletion, population, consumption, security and conflict and investigate the ensuing implications for energy. With a focus on both the developed, fast developing and developing countries by applying a range of legal, political, regulatory and behavioural frameworks, the course examines mechanisms required to achieve a transition towards a low carbon future.
