Energy Transition: Balancing Economic, Political, and Social Realities

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The shift to renewable energy sources has triggered a multifaceted transformation with a dramatic impact on economic, political, and social realms. Economically, this transformation requires substantial investments, creating new job opportunities while reshaping traditional energy markets. Politically, it demands policy adjustments to reconcile environmental goals with economic interests and geopolitical factors. Socially, it raises concerns about energy justice, fair access to clean energy, and the welfare of communities tied to fossil fuels. It is essential that inclusivity is ensured and that the transition speed is managed, necessitating collaboration among stakeholders. Education, public engagement, and equitable policies are crucial for achieving a successful energy transition. To accomplish this objective, research is needed to understand how technological advancements and socio-economic strategies can be aligned with the intertwined dynamics of economics, politics, and society. We welcome papers from various fields related to economics, business management, sociology, energy engineering, and beyond.
