Old Theatre, Ground Floor, Old Building, LSE, Houghton Street, London WC2A 2AE

About this event

Dealing with climate change will require innovation and diffusion of new technologies. But how can we craft policies to best deliver this?

POID Director John Van Reenen presented at this panel discussion alongside Robin Burgess (LSE), Pol Simpson (LSE) and Mar Reguant (Northwestern University). The panel discussed new thinking and evidence from leading thinkers and practitioners on this vital subject, including detailed studies of one of the possible success stories - solar power. Does the rapid rise in the use of solar energy represent a ray of hope in addressing the climate crisis?
