Industrial decarbonisation: where does it come from, where might it go?<\/a>
Mar 8 13.00-14.00<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marc Hudson<\/a> outlines the University of Sussex IDRIC project looking at the politics of industrial decarbonisation policy in the UK.

This seminar will explain the processual approach they are taking to examine how five overlapping policy domains \u2013 climate, energy, industrial strategy, regional strategy, innovation strategy.- came to be spoken of in the same sentence. He will share some initial findings, and offer reflections on how industrial decarbonisation will be shaped by the policy histories and the ongoing mobilisation of political, economic and cultural interests at sub-national, national and international levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JUSTNORTH – The energy transition and justice in the Arctic: Part 1<\/a>
Mar 15 13.00-14.00<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

JUSTNORTH<\/a> is an EU Horizon 2020 project which investigates the ways in which the multitude of ethical systems that coexist in the Arctic can be used as a critical element for assessing the viability of new economic activities (including energy development) in the region.

Part I will focus on the barriers to the ongoing energy transition:

\u2022 \u201cStranded Assets, Path Dependencies & Carbon Lock-in: Short\/Medium\/Long Term Implications of Oil & Gas Development in the Russian, Norwegian and U.S. Arctic \u201d by Anna Badyina<\/a> and Roman Sidortsov <\/a>(SPRU) and

\u2022 \u201cCorporate Cultures & Geopolitical Aspirations: Exploring Socio-Political Barriers to the Energy Transition in Russia & Norway\u201d by Darren McCauley<\/a> (Erasmus University of Rotterdam).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is part two of a two-part seminar series based on the results of JUSTNORTH<\/a>, an EU Horizon 2020 project.

Part II of the series will focus on the opportunities for the energy transition in the High North, as well as the challenges that come with these opportunities. The following three presentations will comprise the second seminar:

\u2022 \u201cSustainable Digitisation & Resilient Communities: Low Carbon Data Centres in Greenland, Iceland & Norway\u201d by Chukwuka Monyei <\/a>(SPRU)
