Biography
Dr Elizabeth (Beth) Tennyson is a senior research associate University of Cambridge’s Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology Department within the Cambridge Centre for Inclusive Innovation. She is also the Country Programme Manager at the Centre for Global Equality for the Climate Compatible Growth research programme. Her primary role is to develop equitable partnerships and strategies with emerging economy countries (e.g., Ghana, Kenya and Zambia) to accelerate their growth and uptake of low-carbon energy and transport solutions, such that the ecosystem left behind is sustained.
