Overview
Join the European Institute at LSE for a critical discussion on the challenges surrounding energy transitions in the modern world. This event features Federica Genovese, a prominent scholar in political science and international relations, who will delve into the intricate dynamics of energy policy and climate cooperation.
Over the past thirty years, global efforts to transition to sustainable energy have been shaped by a complex institutional framework, including organizations like the IEA and UNFCCC. However, the political landscape reveals that the path to decoupling economic growth from fossil fuel dependency is fraught with challenges. Genovese argues that the fragmented progress in energy and climate initiatives is not merely a collective action problem but a deeper distributional contest across various political levels.
This event will explore the significant trade-offs and challenges that lie ahead for stakeholders aiming to stabilize the climate and effectively manage the energy transition.
