Tipping Fossil Fuels out of the Global Economy

Simon Sharpe is the Director of Economics, UN Climate Action Champions. He has previously worked as deputy director of Policy Campaigns at the UK Cabinet Office COP26 Unit, head of private office to the Minister for Energy and Climate Change, and served as a diplomat for ten years with postings in Beijing and Delhi.

In this talk, Simon discusses how evolutionary and complexity economic thinking can guide governments to more effective policy decisions, achieving faster decarbonisation with the same level of political will. He also covers how targeted international cooperation can help countries make low carbon transitions more quickly, with less difficulty, at lower cost, and at greater gain. Simon draws on experiences of the COP26 campaigns, and insights from the UK-China-India-Brazil collaboration on the Economics of Energy Innovation and System Transition project.
