Energy Cultures – an actor-centred perspective on habitual behaviour and socio-technical change

13 June, 2017 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Jubilee 135

We have a special Energy & Climate Seminar by CIED visiting fellow Janet Stephenson on Energy Cultures. All welcome!

CIED Director interviewed on the Energy Transition Show

Professor Benjamin Sovacool was interviewed on the Energy Transitions Show about the speed of energy transitions.

Evidence from history: Deliberate acceleration of socio-technical transitions

The diffusion of low-energy systems needs to be accelerated to address climate change. What lessons can be learned from historical case studies about the technological, political, cultural and economic actions and mechanisms that accelerate diffusion?

The energy implications of automated and smart freight mobility

What are the expected impacts of automated vehicles and smart mobility on energy demand in UK freight transport? How are these technological innovations legitimised by industry, policymakers and other actors? This project aims to find out.
