Biography:
Most of Fergus鈥� research is concerned with questions of politics, governance and justice arising from the transition to a low-carbon economy. His current research focuses on: green new deal-style integrated policy programmes; the 鈥渏ust transition鈥� agenda; and the politics and governance of phasing out fossil fuels.聽
Fergus began his career as a lawyer in the Melbourne office of Australasian firm Allens Arthur Robinson (now Allens-Linklaters), where he specialised in climate change, energy, water and environmental regulation. He was as a Policy Analyst and Research Advisor to Professor Nicholas Stern at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change & the Environment at the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) before completing a PhD in political theory in the LSE Department of Government. He undertook postdoctoral research at Utrecht University and the LSE before joining UCL in September 2021.
