In Conversation With: Megan Davies on Renewable Energy Transitions


Listen Later

Megan Davies is a PhD candidate at the Centre for Complex Systems in Transition at Stellenbosch University, and convenes the Renewable Energy Policy and Renewable Energy Financing modules here at the Sustainability Institute. In this Episode Megan shares more about her work, and how renewable energy is so much more than just solar panels, wind turbines, and complicated excel spreadsheets. Jess and Megan discuss how energy is about how we relate to each other and our resources, how we shape our economy and political systems, and how we move through the world as responsible troublemakers to support the transition to a more just and generative future.
