Professor Catherine Mitchell, an IPCC coordinating lead author, previous UK Government advisor and director of the Energy Policy Group will discuss how the global energy transition can be accelerated through the reform of governance and policy processes. Building on this, Dr Richard Lowes, Lecturer and Research Fellow, advisor to The Scottish Government, who has worked with Catherine over the last decade will describe how issues to do with power and vested interest risk slowing or derailing the energy transition and highlight how governance and policy can empower a rapid and equitable green energy transition.</p>
