Energy and the Anthropocene

This lecture by Dr Nick Eyre (published on 21 Oct 2015) constitutes part of the 'Welcome to the Anthropocene' series and opening lecture series in the Environmental Change Institute (ECI) MSc in Environmental Change and Management.

Changes to energy use are critical to addressing threats to planetary boundaries, especially climate change. Recent cost changes make a combination of energy efficiency and renewable energy the most plausible solution. Their deployment requires a paradigm shift in energy markets and policy, with public policy support at scales from local to global.
