Sam Stephenson (Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge) will be presenting his work on “Our Critical Future: Modelling future critical mineral demand in the UK and globally”.
About this session: Sam's work explores how the energy transition will shape the economy of the future, the risks and opportunities associated with the transition and the implications for geo-politics, development and trade, with a specific focus on critical minerals. Sam earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge looking at the development of different net zero pathways in the UK. His research focused on how cost-optimisation modelling informs politics and blocks the creation of alternative pathways.

The weekly climaTRACES workshops, organised by Kamiar Mohaddes and Henning Zschietzschmann, are attended by a diverse group of people from economics, geography, politics, engineering, business, earth sciences, natural sciences, and history, generating interdisciplinary discussion. One person leads the session, on either a paper they have written, a work in progress, or just an idea they have and would like feedback on. This is also an opportunity for people to find our more about the team on what climaTRACES have been up to and what future events and research projects are being developed.
