This book explores the crucial role of public acceptance in advancing green growth, decarbonization, and rapid advancements of renewable energy technologies. It shows that public acceptance is as critical as technological innovation, given the significant infrastructure, land use, and behavioral changes required for a successful transition toward a carbon-neutral society. It provides theoretical frameworks tested in real-life case studies from around the world. The authors analyze the main drivers and barriers of technology in conjunction with the central role of public acceptance. It discusses the policies and measures needed to promote behavioral changes by highlighting successful strategies as well as failures.

Features

Discusses all important topics surrounding public acceptance of renewable energy technologies. Analyses and systematizes theoretical frameworks of public acceptance of renewable energy technologies. Includes practical case studies to illustrate theoretical frameworks. Presents inclusive policies and communication strategies that foster public acceptance of renewable energy technologies. Provides empirical data from other studies and variations in acceptance across regions and demographic groups.

This is a comprehensive resource for professionals, researchers, graduate students, economists, policymakers in the energy industry and environmental management, and those interested in renewable energy usage and transition, sustainable development, and climate change mitigation.

This book explores the impact of our consumption habits on the planet and how global crises can transform them. Connecting climate policy, sustainable development, and consumer behavior, it offers a clear framework for understanding responsible consumption. Additionally, the book examines EU climate targets, circular economy principles, and the role of digital commerce in shaping environmental outcomes.  Through an analysis of five major global crises ranging from the 1973 oil shock to the current climate emergency, the book illustrates how recent disruptions, such as the pandemic and the Russo-Ukrainian War, can prompt more conscientious choices while revealing the obstacles to lasting change. With real-world case studies and evidence-based policy insights, the book provides researchers, policymakers, and individuals interested in climate action with theoretical insights and practical tools.
