Cho advises on political trends, is responsible for political risk analysis for the Shell Group, and leads the external environment assessments for the Group’s country reviews. He was actively involved in developing the 1995, 1998, 2001 and 2005 sets of Shell Global Scenarios.

Dr Cho tracks politics and international relations and is particularly interested in issues of political development in Asia and the Middle East. He has worked with a range of international organisations, governments, universities, research institutions and business companies in Asia, Europe, the US and Africa. He is a member of the advisory panel of the Evian Group and of the Social Studies Advisory Board of Warwick University.

Dr Cho previously taught Politics and International Relations at the University of Bath and the National University of Singapore, researching political development in East Asia. He was also Senior Economist at the Commonwealth Secretariat in London and Laski Scholar at St John’s College, Cambridge. He graduated from the University of Singapore, and received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the London School of Economics.
AbstractTo help think about the future of energy, Shell has developed two scenarios that describe alternative ways it may develop and the choices that we face. The scenarios highlight efficient energy use and the need to develop clean energy technologies in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and address concerns over climate change. Shell uses scenarios to test its strategy against a range of possible developments over the long-term. These scenarios highlight the need for the right combination of policy, technology and commitment from governments, industry and society globally, if we are to achieve a sustainable future.

You are cordially invited to the Seminar.
