NEW RESEARCH Solar will "dominate" global grid by 2040s It's already cheapest way to get electricity in many countries – incl cost of system storage (Wind is cheapest almost everywhere else) By 2027, solar + system storage will be cheapest everywhere except northern Europe

A digestible summary of our work on solar energy: Solar power expected to dominate electricity generation by 2050 – even without more ambitious climate policies. Global Systems Institute Cambridge Econometrics World Bank EEISTProject theconversation.com/solar-power-ex…

New study on the true costs of a rapid low-carbon transition: not investment in new green technology, but the loss of the brown industries where many people work, challenges in a rapidly transforming economy, and resulting new inequalities. Global Systems Institute tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

New postdoc position opening in our team in Exeter working under me, modelling global emissions scenarios with E3ME-FTT. Very exciting. Only 18 months to start with but should be extended according to funding. jobs.ac.uk/job/DIQ264/pos…
