States around the world are already experiencing the drastic consequences brought on by a changing climate. As the window of opportunity to limit global heating to 1.5 °C is quickly diminishing, it is only probable that states will establish more expert institutions to guide their green transition. The question of how societies have and are currently organizing expertise to plan and carry out their green transition is at the core of Postdoc Søren Lund Frandsen’s research. Søren is based at the Department of Organization at Copenhagen Business School. In this podcast episode Søren discusses questions related to how states and other societal actors organize, produce and shape the expertise necessary for the green transition.

A fierce debate is currently unfolding in the Danish public sphere as well as internationally. On the one side of this debate, there are researchers who feel an urgent need to pool their resources and use their expertise to push society in a sustainable direction. On the other side of the debate, there are politicians and media pundits who intend to fight, tooth and nail, to preserve what they perceive as a politically neutral university system. When scholars become activists, the very foundation of contemporary society is set in motion. But perhaps society is moving in a positive direction? Perhaps we should embrace the notion of intellectual activism?

The impacts of climate change are becoming clearer every day, with increased flooding, extreme heat, more disease, and economic loss. In discussions of climate change and energy transitions, we tend to focus on Western countries. But how are countries in other parts of the world performing in this regard? Colombia is one country that is worth keeping an eye on in terms of its energy policies on green transition.

In its recent report, the IPCC underlines that immediate and large emission reductions are needed to limit global warming to 1.5 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This means that there is no more room for any added fossil fuel infrastructure in the world. If emissions continue, unchanged global warming will surpass 2.8 degree Celsius at the end of this century. In other words, from a climate perspective, the transition to renewable energy must happen fast. The outbreak of Russia’s war in Ukraine, however, has turned Europe’s energy politics upside down. Energy prices have surged and the role of energy in geopolitics have become painstakingly clear. These events affect citizens across Europe as well as firms, states, and industries. Yet, how the crisis will affect the transition to renewable energy is less certain.
