About
Caspar Hobhouse is a Research Analyst at the EU Institute for Security Studies (EUISS). He leads the portfolio on Climate and Energy security.
His research is focused on securing Europe’s energy and climate security over the course of the global energy transition. On energy, he works on exploring the challenges to Europe’s energy security but also the opportunities of the energy transition to create a resilient, cheap, secure and interconnected energy system that not only benefits Europeans but also its neighbours. On climate, he works to manage the risks of climate change on global security, to identify future global challenges resulting from changing weather patterns, and to prepare Europe and its partners for a more hostile lived environment.
Prior to joining EUISS, Caspar held positions in several think tanks and government institutions with a focus on Energy, Climate and European Foreign Policy. Most recently he was a Policy Analyst at E3G working to secure Europe’s energy system with a focus on energy infrastructure.
He has previously conducted research on spatial planning of energy infrastructure, climate mitigation efforts in the GCC and Iraq, strategic communications between the EU and its partners, and global climate diplomacy.
Caspar Hobhouse holds a MPhil in Regional Studies and History from the University of Oxford with a focus on the Southern Neighbourhood and the Middle East. He holds a BA with honours in International History from the London School of Economics (LSE).
