Energy & the environment | University of 欧美高清

Members of the department apply economic techniques to explore the links between energy and environmental issues and the economy. These are becoming increasingly important given the widespread adoption of net zero targets by a wide range of countries and regions and the broader recognition in the ways in which economic activity is underpinned and influenced by environmental factors. Economic techniques are also able to shed light on the challenges and consequences in the transition to a lower carbon and lower environmental impact economy.

The group publish in leading academic journals as well as closely engage with colleagues across the Business School and the wider University to undertake research funded by external organisations. Members also contribute to supervising postgraduate research students in these areas, as well as teaching across the department and faculty鈥檚 undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

The group鈥檚 theory-informed, high-impact, applied research also generates regular engagement and impact with the wider business and policy communities.
