The transition to a low-carbon economy is, at its core, an energy transition that necessitates the rapid deployment of renewables, the modernization of power grids, and the restructuring of energy markets. As governments implement stricter climate policies and clean technologies become more competitive, the challenge is no longer just reducing emissions but ensuring that energy systems remain reliable, affordable, and equitable.
Just Energy Transition: Strategies for Inclusion and Sustainability provides a comprehensive framework for achieving a just energy transition, addressing technical, economic, social, and ethical dimensions of this global challenge. Unlike conventional discussions that emphasize decarbonization alone, this book integrates case studies, policy insights, and market-driven strategies with critical perspectives on justice, fairness, gender equity, and social sustainability. This is a valuable resource for all those involved in the energy sector, the transition to low-carbon systems and renewables, grid modernization, policy, and sustainability, including researchers, advanced students, faculty, scientists, engineers, industry professionals, policy makers, and regulatory bodies.
- Presents empirical studies and practical recommendations for deploying equitable low-carbon energy
