Our research

Dr Yael Lifshitz shared three papers: 'Energy Cities', which looks at the role cities can play in the clean energy transition; 'Natural Transplants' which assesses the potential impact on natural resource law of the tendency among lawmakers to copy existing law; and 'Private Energy' which focuses on the role of private law as the traditionally-centralised model of energy generation and exchange is disrupted by new technology.
