The Governance of Clean Development
The Governance of Clean Development (GCD) project is funded through the ESRC Climate Change Leadership Fellowship scheme and is based at the School of International Development at the University of East Anglia.
The project is led by Professor Peter Newell working with Jon Phillips, Lucy Baker and Dr Nicky Jenner. The programme of work involves a wide range of research, dissemination and training activities.
This innovative research programme focuses on the governance of clean development, principally in the area of energy, and aims to generate insights into which features of the actors, institutions, and policy-making processes involved in clean development at the national and international are resulting in effective outcomes in terms of climate action and developmental benefits, which are not, and why. By employing a combination of research and outreach activities the project seeks to push forward current research and practice on the politics of clean development.
