As part of the SNIS project, Prof. Liliana Andonova and Dr. Joëlle Noailly are co-organizing an academic workshop on "Climate Policy Innovation and the Access to Clean Energy Technology in Developing Countries" in Geneva on May 26th and 27th. The workshop will take place at the Villa Moynier of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies.

Innovation and diffusion of clean energy technology are essential for moving toward a green economy in a carbon-constrained world. While the developed world is trying to transition to a more carbon-neutral energy mix, developing countries are struggling to secure sufficient energy to meet basic human needs. The workshop aims to provide an in-depth investigation of the barriers to the diffusion of clean energy technologies to developing countries, as well as the governance mechanisms (policies and international cooperation) that can help to unlock diffusion and improve clean energy access.

This workshop will bring together 20-25 scholars from interdisciplinary backgrounds under the flag of the COST Action INOGOV (Innovations in Climate Governance).
