climate and energy research, in particular in empirical macroeconomic and
climate policy quantitative modelling.
Michele Stua is Research Fellow at SPRU (Science and Policy Research Unit),
University of Sussex, where he has spent most of his time as an academic and
researcher. His major studies aimed at facilitating the trade of mitigationrelated assets worldwide. His findings led to the definition of policy proposals
introduced in multiple international contexts. He holds a relevant track of
publications ranging from global climate change governance topics to the
effects of Brexit on the UK’s climate and energy strategies.
Takeshi Takama has been an international expert on climate change, environment, and energy for international and bilateral agencies for more than 15
years, including ADB, IRENA, JICA, GIZ, and UN agencies. He is also an
associate for the Stockholm Environment Institute, CEO of PT Sustainability & Resilience (su- re.co), and a professor at Udayana University. His
expertise includes climate change vulnerability and adaptation, renewable
energy with particular scope of bioenergy, green economy, and food security.
He completed his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2005.
Richard Taylor is a senior researcher at the Stockholm Environment Institute,
Oxford Centre, UK. His work addresses decision- making, behavioural, and
learning processes related to environment, climate change, and sustainable
development. A focus is on using participatory methodologies with stakeholders, and provision of decision support processes and tools. He also
develops agent- based social simulation (ABSS) models and data visualisations in environmental management and development contexts. He obtained
his PhD in 2004 at MMU Business School.
Syamsidar Thamrin has been working for nearly 20 years with the Indonesian
National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), currently being a
senior planner for energy and climate change. She has been involved in various climate change policies in Indonesia, government procurement policy
development, and the energy sector. She was also assigned as the Head of
Secretariat of ICCTF in 2009–2015. She completed her bachelor’s degree in
Electrical Engineering from Bandung Institute Technology (ITB) and a Master’s degree in Business Administration from the Syracuse University.
Andreas Tuerk MSc, MBA is a senior scientist with an extensive international
background. The chemist and economist works at both Joanneum Research
and the Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change (University of
Graz). He has more than ten years’ expertise in international and national
energy and climate policy, emissions trading (e.g. the EU Emissions Trading
Scheme, international emissions trading schemes), the Kyoto Protocol and
subsequent international regimes/agreements, energy and environmental
policy interaction analyses, smart grid sand storage, and smart cities, as well
as regulatory issues related to the design of electricity markets.
