Biography
Charlie Wilson is a visiting research scholar in the Energy, Climate, and Environment (ECE) Program, working on a range of energy, innovation, and climate change mitigation projects. His work focuses on the dynamics and patterns of technological and social change, both historically and under future scenarios towards climate stabilization and sustainability goals. This work includes analysis of the energy and climate impacts of digitalization in daily life; the economic and human benefits of small-scale or granular technologies; and low-carbon lifestyle change. His work has fed into the Global Energy Assessment (2012), been published in a Cambridge University Press book (2014), as well as various journal publications and IIASA working papers (2009-present). He is also a professor of Energy and Climate Change in the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford, UK.Last update: 16 MAR 2023
