Beskrivning
Arctic energy is at a crossroads. Climate change and advances in renewable energy technologies are setting the foundation for what may be the most significant transition since the industrial revolution; yet energy transitions across the Arctic are highly uneven. Against this backdrop, the Routledge Handbook of Arctic Energy Transition draws together contributions from leading experts in the field to explore the diverse Arctic energy landscape and establish several conceptual themes and frameworks for understanding Arctic energy transitions. The authors emphasize the critical role of planning and governance in achieving sustainable Arctic energy security – from understanding the transaction costs of local energy to the barriers and enablers of the regulatory and institutional environments. They also outline the social value of energy, from establishing the foundational concepts of social value to just transitions in the Arctic. Finally, the chapters situate Arctic energy transitions in the context of global energy security and set an agenda for Arctic energy futures research that supports community-appropriate energy solutions.This timely handbook will be of great interest to an internationally and professionally diverse audience studying the Arctic and sub-Arctic energy geography itself, as well as in relation to global issues. It will be an essential resource to students and scholars of energy transitions, energy policy, Indigenous rights and justice, international geopolitics, and the human development dimensions of climate change.

"As the contours of the physical, political, economic, security, cultural, and social landscapes of the Arctic rapidly change, the demand for, and questions about energy and energy security will remain central issues shaping the future of the region. We often read book endorsements that include a 'must read' moniker, a claim that comes with a high bar to match expectations. But this volume meets the mark, bringing together an extraordinary team of experts who provide us with a comprehensive understanding of the many ways energy will enable communities in the North to thrive, while underscoring and explaining the complexities of Arctic energy security in an inherently connected local, regional, and global context."Ambassador Mike Sfraga (ret), PhD, Interim Chancellor, University of Alaska Fairbanks, America's Arctic University, USA"This is an impressive collection of research on the pressing issues of energy for Northern communities. Nowhere else is there such attention in one book to how energy shapes the lives, livelihoods, safety and security of Indigenous communities around the Circumpolar North. This book is highly recommended reading for anyone who wants to understand the vital role of energy in Indigenous communities in the North today."Gary Merasty, Chief Executive Officer, Peter Ballantyne Group of Companies, Saskatchewan, Canada"This Handbook underscores a core truth in Arctic energy work: durable energy security begins with solutions shaped by and for the communities they serve. It offers a grounded, practical framework for strengthening energy security across a vast and diverse North, and will be an essential resource for those working to improve the status quo."Katie Conway, Energy Program Manager, Denali Commission, Alaska, USA
