From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[1]

Roland Kupers is a Dutch physicist, author and academic working on complexity science as it applies to public policy and the energy transition.[1] He is a Professor of Practice at Arizona State University[2] and is a global advisor on methane to the International Methane Emissions Observatory[3] of the United Nations Environment Programme.

Corporate and Advisory work[edit]

Kupers studied theoretical physics[4] and later worked at Shell where he became Vice President for Sustainable Development[5] and Vice President for Global Liquified Natural Gas, LNG[6]. He is the main architect of the International Methane Emissions Observatory[7] and the lead author of UNEP’s annual report “An Eye on Methane”.[8] Kupers is on the board of trustees of the Environmental Defense Fund in Europe.

Academic and Policy work[edit]

Kupers was an associate fellow at the Smith School for Enterprise and the Environment[9] and a fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Amsterdam[10]. He wrote about resilience and risk in the World Economic Forum 2018 Annual Risk Report[11], about the history of foresight in the Harvard Business Review[12] as well as policy editorials for Project Syndicate[13].

Currently Kupers is studying the climate impact of hydrogen emissions.[14] In 2024 he was awarded a residency at the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center.[15]
