While there is widespread agreement on the need for new and improved energy technologies to meet current environmental, economic, security, and access challenges, little consensus exists on the role of public decision-makers in catalyzing innovation in energy technologies. This is due to the complexity of the processes underlying technology innovation, the multiplicity of policy tools and actors involved, and the heterogeneity of technologies making up current and future energy systems.
This lecture was jointly hosted by the Graduate Institute and the GGKP will draw on recent interdisciplinary research to highlight new insights on the impacts of various policies and on the role that domestic and international actors play and can play to advance energy innovation. Special emphasis will be placed on the growing experience from emerging economies and low-income countries in adopting new energy technologies. It will also suggest future research directions that could help to better inform ongoing national and international discussions on innovation in energy.
This lecture took place at Auditorium Ivan Pictet (A1B) at Maison de la Paix.
