Professor Benjamin Sovacool Featured on BBC

Professor Benjamin Sovacool of the Bennett Institute recently appeared on the BBC World News Radio to discuss making the global energy transition more equitable and inclusive. In the interview, Professor Sovacool shares his expertise on the energy transition’s social implications, contributing to a vital global conversation. His research plays a key role in guiding policymakers and communities toward achieving net zero.

In the interview, Professor Sovacool explains how energy superpower status depends on a combination of domestic energy security and export strength. He notes that the US, Russia, and Saudi Arabia achieve superpower status through fossil fuel dominance, but that China achieves it through clean energy technology exports. Responding directly to Prime Minister Carney’s comments at the ASEAN Summit, he outlines a pathway for Canada to become a clean energy superpower. 

At the Bennett Institute, we’re committed to advancing research that informs fair, sustainable, and evidence-based policy.
