Speaker: Joanna Lewis, Provost's Distinguished Associate Professor and Director, Science, Technology and International Affairs, Georgetown University

Joanna Lewis will present findings from her new book "Cooperating for the Climate: Learning from International Partnerships in China's Clean Energy Sector." Drawing on decades of work in clean energy technology and climate policy and hundreds of interviews with policymakers, companies, and researchers, "Cooperating for the Climate" is the first comprehensive analysis of international clean energy partnerships with China. In her talk, Lewis will discuss the motivations, science, and politics behind international clean energy technology collaboration with China, and why different clean energy partnerships result in different political and technological outcomes. Lewis will also discuss the implications of her research for understanding China’s climate trajectory and the U.S.-China relationship.
