CEENRG Thursday seminars: 'The national and global politics of fossil fuel phase out'

Speaker: Professor Peter Newell (Professor of International Relations, School of Global Studies, University of Sussex)

A joint CEENRG – Conservation Research Institute seminar.

The Cambridge Centre for Environment, Energy, and Natural Resource Governance (C-EENRG) is hosting a seminar series throughout the 2025- 26 academic year.

How can the world wean itself off climate changing fossil fuels? This is among the greatest and most difficult challenges the world currently faces. In this talk, I share some emerging findings from a research project exploring the political economy of supply-side policies which seek to leave fossil fuels in the ground through bans, moratoria, restrictions on finance and the like. I will discuss national and global attempts to advance these policies and where we might go next in advancing this critical agenda.

Seminars take place as hybrid meetings (in person seminars in the DAB - David Attenborough Building + online in Zoom) every Thursday (please check precise time as may vary) during the term. Please register online to receive the Zoom link on the day of the seminar. Everyone is welcome!
