Centre for Energy Ethics

Description

As energy systems change, so will energy politics, economics and social life. How can substantial transformations in our relationships with energy production, distribution and consumption come about? What kind of world do we envision for ourselves and for others? And how do we get there? These questions recognise that energy relationships entail fundamental ethical judgements.

The Centre provides a rare platform for collaboration across arts, humanities, social and natural sciences. It brings together our different disciplinary strengths as we pursue the guiding question of not only what can we do, but also what should we do in order to create a better energy future for us all.

The Centre fosters a creative and interdisciplinary research environment, provides in-demand policy guidance, and engages with industry and multiple publics. The Centre was officially launched on 25 February 2021 by University of St Andrews Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Sally Mapstone.
