Governing energy transitions for all, from local to global. Energy transitions involve changing roles for businesses, communities, public bodies and energy consumers. The changes involved bring many benefits, but they can also be disruptive and possibly contested.If we are to navigate successfully through energy transitions, we need to pay attention to institutions and organisations, economics and markets, to cities and villages, to the knowledge and practices of experts as well as end-users, and to ethics, values and interests. We work across scales, from global to local, and understand and support how energy futures are made in practice. Our expertise is drawn from the fields such as social sciences, business, geography, law and design.
