Description:Reducing climate change and its negative impact on society and the environment is one of the major challenges of the 21st century. Strategies for a low-carbon future, such as renewable energies, transportation and diets, will be effective globally, but need to be implemented in local, regional, and national settings across different sectors. Currently, much research is available on the effectiveness of individual technologies, behaviours, and policies. However, ultimately, these individual components need to be implemented together in comprehensive transformation pathways. To do so successfully, it is crucial not only to understand the benefits, but also the risks associated with these low-carbon pathways and the policy strategies aiming to promote these pathways.The aim of this book is to enhance this understanding. It provides an interdisciplinary framework to assess risks associated with low-carbon pathways, and apply this consistently across different country cases to illustrate the implementation of alternative pathways. The volume draws on ten international case studies, including Canada, Chile, United Kingdom, Kenya and Indonesia. The narratives in this book present empirical evidence reflecting the complex challenges and potential consequences of such pathways. Together they enable us to draw valuable lessons on the risks and uncertainties we face in choosing these pathways, as well as ways to manage them and ultimately enable their sustainable and lasting social and environmental effects.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental and energy policy, energy transitions, renewable energy, climate change, and sustainability in general.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
