Caroline Bird

Caroline is an interdisciplinary researcher interested in local responses to achieving future sustainability, working across sectors and bringing a social sciences lens to exploring issues including energy transitions. For EnergyREV, she used area and project-based case studies to explore current and future knowledge, skills and training needs for low carbon, smart local energy systems. This research drew on documentary analysis and interviews with a range of stakeholders in looking at potential skills shortages and the most effective ways of filling the gaps.
