    Annual Review 2016/17 Pushing at the frontiers of Knowledge Portrait of Dr Henry Odili Nwume (Brasenose) by Sarah Jane Moon – see The Full Picture, page 17. FOREWORD 2016/17 has been a memorable year for the country and for our University. In the ever-changing and deeply uncertain world around us, the University of Oxford continues to attract the most talented students and the most talented academics from across the globe. They convene here, as they have always done, to learn, to push at the frontiers of knowledge and to improve the world in which we find ourselves. One of the highlights of the past twelve months was that for the second consecutive year we were named the top university in the world by the Times Higher Education Global Rankings. While it is reasonable to be sceptical of the precise placements in these rankings, it is incontrovertible that we are universally acknowledged to be one of the greatest universities in the world. This is a privilege, a responsibility and a challenge. Other highlights include the opening of the world’s largest health big data institute, the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Information and Discovery, and the launch of OSCAR – the Oxford Suzhou Centre for Advanced Research – a major new research centre in Suzhou near Shanghai. In addition, the Ashmolean’s success in raising £1.35 million to purchase King Alfred’s coins, which included support from over 800 members of the public, was a cause for celebration. The pages that follow detail just some of the extraordinary research being conducted here on perovskite solar cells, indestructible tardigrades and driverless cars.

  • Encouraging Innovation That Protects Environmental Systems: Five Policy Proposals." Hepburn, Cameron, Jacquelyn Pless, and David Popp
    This is a pre-print version of an article published in Review of Environmental Economics and Policy. The version of record - "Encouraging Innovation that Protects Environmental Systems: Five Policy Proposals." Hepburn, Cameron, Jacquelyn Pless, and David Popp. Review of Environmental Economics and Policy Vol. 12, No. 1 (2018): 154-169 - is available online at: http://doi.org/10.1093/reep/rex024 1 Policy Brief Encouraging Innovation that Protects Environmental Systems: Five Policy Proposals Cameron Hepburn*, Jacquelyn Pless**, and David Popp*** 27 October 2017 Abstract Human innovations have created widespread human prosperity. However, they are also threatening the global environmental systems on which our economy and civilisation depend. The likely solutions to these challenges—such as the transition to clean energy systems—will require yet more innovation. This article presents five policy proposals that would support more innovation of the environmentally beneficial kind and less innovation of the environmentally harmful kind. We argue that the appropriate portfolio of innovation policies for protecting global environmental systems includes: 1) pricing natural capital; 2) providing and targeting R&D support towards environmentally-beneficial innovations, based on the evidence acquired through more rigorous experimental designs; 3) providing early- stage deployment subsidies for environmentally-friendly technologies in particular circumstances; 4) supporting collaborative R&D to leverage complementary capabilities in various types of
