C-EENRG Fellow Lecturer in Tort Law The Dickson Poon School of Law King’s College London emily.barritt@kcl.ac.uk

Biography

Emily Barritt is Lecturer in Tort Law and the Co-Director of the Transnational Law Institute at King’s College London. Her research focuses on environmental democracy, access to justice, public participation, stewardship and climate change adjudication. Her recently published monograph The Foundations of the Aarhus Convention: Environmental Democracy Rights and Stewardship (Hart Publishing 2020) is the first such work to uncover the ambitious scope of this important instrument of international environmental law. Alongside this research she has been involved in various projects, including assessing legal options for the protection of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction, the disruptive nature of climate change in court rooms and assessing the role of beauty in understanding environmental law. Emily is now turning her work to uncovering the spiritual dimensions of environmental law, looking both at the theoretical idea behind this concept and at examples where spiritual factors have shaped adjudication and legal instruments.

C-EENRG Fellow Policy Advisor, German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy f.knobloch@cantab.net

Biography

Dr Florian Knobloch is a Policy Advisor at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, and a Fellow at the Centre for Environment, Energy and Natural Resource Governance (C-EENRG) at the University of Cambridge.

Dr Knobloch completed a PhD on the modelling of technology choice behavior in energy transitions at Radboud University Nijmegen, in collaboration with C-EENRG. He is an economist and environmental scientist by training, with degrees from the University of Cambridge (MPhil in Environmental Policy) and Humboldt-University of Berlin (MSc and BSc in Economics). His interdisciplinary background combines extensive training in economics, public policy, statistics, law, computing sciences, and dynamic systems modelling.

Amongst others, Dr Knobloch has previously worked as a researcher and lecturer at the Environmental Science Department of Radboud University Nijmegen (The Netherlands), as a consultant for Cambridge Econometrics (UK), as a senior policy analyst for the Federation of German Industries (Germany), and as a visiting fellow for the energy policy team of Fundación Chile (Chile).

Research

Dr Knobloch’s research focuses on the area of low-carbon innovation, public policy, macroeconomics, and climate change. His primary expertise lies in the analysis and computational modelling of energy and climate policies, with a focus on simulation methods for analysing the potential impacts of policy instruments on technology uptake and the wider economy. For this purpose, he combines empirical research on choice behaviour with the development of computational models of technological change.

As part of a consortium involving the University of Cambridge, Cambridge Econometrics, and the Open University, Dr Knobloch was part of the team that developed the simulation-based integrated assessment model E3ME-FTT-GENIE. This modelling suite is currently being used to support policy assessment in several world regions, including Europe (European Commission, at DG ENERGY and DG CLIMA), Asia and America.

Over the last years, Dr Knobloch was involved in several multinational interdisciplinary research projects, including:

• Two-year study for the European Commission (DG Energy), aimed to improve the understanding and modelling of the links between EU energy-related policies and macroeconomic dynamics.
• European Union's Horizon 2020 project ‘Sim4Nexus’, aimed to facilitate the design of policies within the water-energy-land-food and climate nexus.
• Building resilient evidence-based energy-water-food nexus policies for Brazil (project BRIDGE – Building Resilience In a Dynamic Global Economy. Complexity across scales in Brazil).
• Analysis of policies for the use of energy, water and resources in East Asia (with partners across East Asia).

Dr Knobloch has published in peer-reviewed academic journals such as Nature Climate Change, Climate Policy, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Energy Efficiency, and Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions.

C-EENRG Fellow Affiliate, Cambridge Econometrics Senior Lecturer in Global Systems, University of Exeter jm801@cam.ac.uk

Biography

Dr Jean-Francois Mercure is a computational scientist in the area of low-carbon innovation, macroeconomics, finance and climate change. He is Senior Lecturer in Global Systems, University of Exeter. His primary expertise lies in technological change dynamics and evolutionary (innovation) economics. 

He was formerly deputy director of the Cambridge Centre for Climate Change Mitigation Research (4CMR) and head of its energy modelling team. Initially trained in physics and complexity science, he spent the past years designing and building computational models for climate change mitigation research, as well as analysing the theoretical underpinnings of contemporary energy-economy models.

Dr Mercure leads modelling efforts at C-EENRG. In collaboration with Cambridge Econometrics and the Open University, the models used at C-EENRG cover technology dynamics, the macroeconomy and the biophysical world (the climate, the carbon cycle, the land surface). This makes a new form of Earth System Model, or Integrated Assessment Model, that is entirely simulation-based, and includes technological change dynamics and policy.

Research

1. Complexity economics and system change: what are the self-reinforcing processes that can catalyse positive change or act as a threat to change in the economy? What are the fundamental intervention points that can support triggering positive change and lower systemic risk over time?
2. Science-policy interface for sustainable transformations: what are the techniques to support co-development to better support scientists to consult meaningful policy change towards sustainability? What are the ways in which policy makers mental models can be influenced by the scientific community?
3. Environmental risks, impact assessment and financial risks: what can be the impact of shocks emerging from agents’ interaction in a growing economy that reaches planetary boundaries? What is the mutual relationship between financial risk of climate change, resources scarcity and food security?
4. Digital transformation and inequality: what is the impact of digital technologies on labour force and employment? What is the dynamic influence of inequality on the economy and how can inequality be reduced?

EEIST is a £3.7M research project commissioned by BEIS and CIFF on complexity science tools for informing energy transitions policy in Brazil, China, India, the UK and EU.
• Co-I of project FRANTIC - Financial Risk and the Impact of Climate Change. FRANTIC is a NERC funded research project studying the impact of climate-related transition risks on the global financial sector.
• Building resilient evidence-based energy-water-food nexus policies for Brazil (project BRIDGE – Building Resilience In a Dynamic Global Economy. Complexity across scales in Brazil).
• Development of affordable technological solutions to address energy-water-food nexus challenges (project BRIDGE-TESC - Technological empowerment for family-farming agriculture in Santa Catarina)
• Development of a new framework of policy engagement to effectively inform and support the policy cycle in Brazil to reach objectives of sustainable development (Project B2I – Bridge to Impact).
