Objectively assessing the (in)compatibility of power assets with the Paris Agreement and the SDGs
This is an online event. Please register to sign up at www.energy.ox.ac.uk
Aligning the economy with sustainability requires us to understand the i) impacts that current and planned projects will have on the local and global environment, as well as on sustainable development and ii) the stranded asset risks current and planned projects face from different physical and transition risks related to environmental change, particularly climate change. This information and analysis can then inform decision-making by governments, private and public financial institutions, financial regulators, companies, and civil society. This presentation will cover the challenges and opportunities of doing this for the power sector and the what needs to happen next in power, as well as other sectors of the global economy.
