Darwin Fellow Professor Emily Shuckburgh OBE has been appointed as an Honorary Fellow of the Energy Institute at the 26th annual International Energy Awards. A renowned climate scientist and Director of Cambridge Zero, which aims to maximise the University’s contribution towards a sustainable, zero-carbon future, Emily was described by the Energy Institute as “one of the UK’s foremost climate science experts and communicators”. Honorary Fellowships are the Institute’s highest form of membership, awarded to a small number of individuals of longstanding distinction, and at present held by around 100 members.
The awards marked the culmination of International Energy Week, which brings together leaders and influences from across the world of energy. They included the presentation of the EI President’s Award to former US Secretary of State and Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, Secretary John Kerry.
The Energy Institute is the chartered professional membership body for people who work across the world of energy. Its purpose is to create a better energy future by accelerating a just global energy transition to net zero.
