The Nils Klim Symposium: "Reflect and Act: Energy Social Science and Impact!"

The symposium is held in honour of Nils Klim Laureate Siddharth Sareen. The Laureate's lecture is followed by presentations by three invited speakers, a panel discussion and a Q&A session. "Under dire circumstances worldwide, how can the insights that energy social scientists hold enable equitable transitions to low-carbon energy futures? Reflection is a form of action at frontiers of understanding. Energy social scientists have reflected upon the deadlocks and breakthroughs that relate to low-carbon energy futures. During rapid global innovation and power tussles over energy systems, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research is thriving. Yet how does academic reflection translate into action to enable equitable transitions? The Nils Klim Symposium examines the roles scholars play in governing energy transitions."
