Webinar: Emerging issues and trends in Supply-Side Climate Policies

The SUS-POL project at the University of Sussex was delighted to host a webinar exploring the recent special issue of the journal International Environmental Agreements on “Supply-side climate policy: Emerging lessons and next steps”, edited by Prof. Peter Newell and Dr. Angela Carter.

 

During the webinar, various contributors to the special issue explained how their work has added to the debate of how to restrict fossil fuel production and keep reserves safely in the ground. The contributors include:  

• Dr. Amanda Slevin, Queen’s University Belfast: Reconciling Ireland’s climate ambitions with climate policy and practice: challenges, contradictions and barriers
• Professor Harro van Asselt, University of Cambridge: The environmental and economic effects of international cooperation on restricting fossil fuel supply
• Sarah Greene, University of Waterloo: From national ban to global climate policy renewal: Denmark’s path to leading on oil extraction phase out
• Kjell Kühne, LINGO: “Climate Bailout”: a new tool for central banks to limit the financial risk resulting from climate change

After the presentations, Dr. Angela Carter chaired a Q&A panel discussion, drawing questions from the audience. 

The special issue is available here.
