Addressing Energy Governance: Questions of Scale and Scope

This webinar brings together researchers working on energy governance issues from a range of projects funded under two different DFID initiatives. These initiatives are the EPSRC/DFID/DECC funded Understanding Sustainable Energy Solutions (USES) programme whose 13 projects are networked under the USES Network (http://www.lcedn.com/uses) and the DFID-funded Gender and Energy research programme which is managed by Energia (https://energia.org/research).

Issues that will be covered in the webinar include: the roles of local government and political decentralization in energy governance; the political economy of energy sector dynamics and decision-making processes; Energy sector reform and fossil-fuel subsidization and the role of cities and municipalities in sustainable energy transitions.

Our webinar series is a little different: each expert will speak for less than 10 minutes and will focus on their on-the-ground experience using photos to tell their story.

Speakers:

Ed Brown (Loughborough University, UK Low Carbon Energy for Development Network)
Laura Merrill and Richard Bridle (International Institute for Sustainable Development)
Simon Bawakyillenuo and Innocent Agbelie (University of Ghana)
Govind Kelkar (M.S,Swaminathan Research Foundation, India)
