Join us on 7 October (4:30–6:00 PM) in UCL's IOE Bedford Way Room W3.05 for a thought-provoking lecture with Professor Joyashree Roy, Distinguished Professor at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, and one of the world’s leading experts in energy and climate economics.
This lecture, Opportunities to Prosper in the Carbon Constrained World for South and Southeast Asian Countries, will explore how late-developing economies can leverage low historical emissions, emerging electrification trends, and early adoption of innovative technologies to build resilient, sustainable futures. The session will examine how integrating demand-side solutions, expanding clean energy, and strengthening regional cooperation can unlock economic opportunities while advancing human wellbeing.
Professor Roy is also Founder Director of the Centre on South and South-East Asia Multidisciplinary Applied Research Network. She was part of the IPCC team awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize and has served as Coordinating Lead Author across multiple IPCC assessment reports. Ranked among the world’s top 2% most influential scientists in energy research (Stanford, 2023), she has authored nearly 200 peer-reviewed papers and advised on major global reports including the Stern Review. Her work focuses on energy, climate change, sustainable development, and transformative pathways for the Global South.
We look forward to welcoming you!
