Drawing on expertise from the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/engineering-design\/\">Faculty of Engineering and Design (FED)<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/\">Faculty of Public and Global Affairs (FPGA)<\/a>, CSERC connects and amplifies Carleton\u2019s strengths in energy modelling, socio-technical transitions, environmental policy and economics, and related fields. Through this bridging of perspectives, the Centre contributes to addressing today&#8217;s most pressing energy challenges, from climate change to sustainable industrial development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
