SUMMARY:Industrial Ecology Group hosts Professor Chris Kennedy for a talk J
 une\n3\, 2024
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Industrial Ecology group on Monday\, June 3rd a
 t 1:30pm\nfor a talk by Professor Chris Kennedy in EV3-4408. 30 minute\npr
 esentation followed by a Q & A. \n\nENERGY CONSTRAINTS ON MACROECONOMIC PA
 RADIGMS\n\nReducing greenhouse gas emissions requires enormous changes to 
 energy\nsupply\; but what kind of changes to the economy will this entail?
  \nSeveral previous studies have demonstrated the substantial influence\n
 of energy on the US economy. This paper goes further by reinterpreting\nma
 jor macroeconomic paradigms in terms of fundamental changes to\nenergy sup
 ply. \n\nThe three US macroeconomic paradigms of the twentieth century\, d
 efined\nby transformational economic shocks\, had distinct energy\ncharact
 eristics. The pre-Keynesian era (to 1929) was dominated by\ncoal\; the Key
 nesian era (1930-1973) witnessed substantial growth with\nunconstrained ac
 cess to abundant domestic oil supplies\; and the\nMonetarist era (after ~1
 973) was energy constrained. Moreover\, the\neconomic shocks that precipit
 ated paradigm changes were rooted in\nchanges to energy supply. The Great 
 Crash of 1929 followed from\ndiscovery of vast oil fields in the US Southw
 est. The collapse of the\nBretton Woods system in 1971 occurred in part du
 e to US peak\nconventional oil production\; and together they established 
 the\nconditions for the First Oil Crisis of 1973. \n\nBIOGRAPHY \n\nChris 
 has worked for over 25-years on strategies for addressing global\nclimate 
 change\, drawing upon economics\, technology\, policy and\nindustrial ecol
 ogy perspectives. Most of his current work involves\nanalysis of national 
 economies towards deep decarbonization. His\nprevious research helped the 
 development of a standard approach for\ncity-wide greenhouse gas accountin
 g\, used to support climate finance.\nHis wider scholarship includes contr
 ibutions explaining the energetic\nbasis of the Industrial Revolution\, an
 d the Great Depression.\n\nChris was the inaugural chair of a new ‘green
 ’ Civil Engineering\nDepartment at the University of Victoria. He is a m
 ember of the Global\nCities Institute at the University of Toronto\, a mem
 ber of UVic’s\nInstitute for Integrated Energy Systems\, and a Fellow of
  the Canadian\nAcademy of Engineering. Chris is a former President of the\
 nInternational Society for Industrial Ecology\; and has been a visiting\np
 rofessor at Oxford University and ETH Zürich. In 2011/12\, he was\nsecond
 ed to the OECD in Paris\, to support the Working Party on Climate\nInvestm
 ent and Development.
