Description & Coverage
Description:

The global shift toward cleaner and more sustainable energy systems is reshaping economic structures. Energy transition encompasses far more than the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable sources it is a process that influences industrial competitiveness, community resilience, and ecological balance. Economic strategies must address investment flows and infrastructure modernization. While social considerations focus on equity and the fair distribution of benefits and costs. Environmental imperatives demand decisive action to restore ecosystems, and safeguard natural resources. Social and environmental dimensions of energy transition are essential for crafting policies and innovations that ensure a just and sustainable global future.

This book aims to define the socio-economic impact of available energy transitions.
