48 Kleinman Center for Energy Policy 2018–2019 Annual ReportFEATURED STUDENT GRANTIEA FELLOWSHIP:TAKING ENERGYEDUCATION GLOBALSTUDENTMary Lim, 2019 Kleinman Birol FellowWhen Mary Lim began her MBA at Wharton, she knew she wantedglobal experience. And her summer as the Kleinman Birol Fellow at theInternational Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris, France not only gave herthat—it thrust her into a timely research topic.PREPARING FOR COPIn November, Chile will host the 25th Conference of Parties (COP), an internationalmeeting of members of the United Nations to assess progress in dealing with climatechange. Because of this upcoming milestone, Chile has been ramping up their nationalefforts around climate change and renewable energies.In preparation for COP, Lim had the opportunity to work with IEA’s environment and climatechange team on a project focused on Chile’s climate commitments.Lim looked closely at Chile’s policies, specifically their National Determined Contributionunder the Paris Agreement. She explored what they elected to contribute toward the Parisgoals, if they are staying on track, and what they could be doing better.FROM HERE TO THERE“My two biggest goals coming into Wharton were getting more diverse industry experienceand more international experience and this internship has kept me on that path,” said Lim.During her undergraduate education, Lim studied international relations with a focus onenergy and environment in different countries and their responses to climate change.After completing her undergraduate degree at Georgetown University, she worked at KPMGwith the power and utility team in Washington, D.C.There she had utility clients and was able to get an understanding of energy from a businessperspective. But when she came to Penn, she wanted to take a closer look at energy from thepolicy side. The Kleinman Birol Fellowship at the IEA perfectly fit her ambitions.WHAT’S NEXT?This fellowship has been a unique experience that has given Lim a good idea of what itmeans to work abroad and with people from diverse counties and backgrounds.After graduation, she plans to go back into consulting, where she will be able to apply herprofessional background with her applied research and coursework from Penn.
