The political economy of convertible firms: Electric utilities and automakers in climate politics

“Heya! I'm a British guy going into the 5th (eek) year of my PhD in Poli Sci. I work on climate politics, and my dissertation project involves looking at the climate behaviour of a leading group of global automakers and electric utilities from 2005 to 2021. Before grad school I worked in financial technology for four years in Hong Kong. Contrary to my national stereotype, I think tea is overrated as a drink (though not as a meal).”

Climate Positive Energy has integrated into the Lawson Climate Institute.

Integration of the Climate Positive Energy Initiative (CPE) into the Lawson Climate Institute (LCI) represents a strategic evolution that amplifies University of Toronto’s collective impact on climate solutions. CPE's established expertise in sustainable energy research and innovation becomes a cornerstone of the Lawson Climate Institute's comprehensive mandate to address the climate crisis through technology, policy, and education.

Existing and ongoing grants, research projects, partnerships, and other activity under Climate Positive Energy will continue uninterrupted and will transition to operate under the Lawson Climate Institute brand in the coming months.
