Summary

The Chevening Transforming Energy Access (TEA) Scholarship aims to support 30 scholars from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indo-Pacific to pursue energy access-related research in a one-year Masters course at a UK university, with the first scholarships awarded in September 2023. The scholarships include a monthly stipend, travel costs, visa fees, and university fees. Throughout the year there will also be networking opportunities for TEA Scholars. The overarching objective is to build a network of emerging leaders within the energy access sector and embed the scholars within the Transforming Energy Access (TEA) platform.

Summary

The Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) programme helps to advance global collaboration on research into green grids in support of the Green Grids Initiative (GGI). Launched by world leaders at COP26 in Glasgow, the GGI forms the biggest ever global political coalition for clean energy. Its aim is to accelerate the construction of the new infrastructure needed for a world powered by clean energy. CCG research integrates with and supports GGI working groups with critical analysis and thought leadership. An example of this is CCG’s research paper on how climate finance can be mobilised to meet the large investments needed in grid infrastructure across emerging and developing economies.
