Description

Energy and Development by Frauke Urban provides a comprehensive exploration of the complex relationships between energy and development. The world faces two major challenges: providing modern energy access to those without electricity and achieving socio-economic development while limiting global atmospheric temperature increases. International policies and initiatives, such as the Sustainable Development Goals SDG7 on sustainable energy and the Paris Agreement, aim to address these challenges. This book outlines various options for delivering energy access, analyses past and prospective energy transitions, and examines their social, environmental, economic, and technological implications. A holistic and multi-disciplinary approach makes this book a valuable resource for postgraduate and undergraduate students, scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in fields such as energy studies, international development, environmental studies, industrial engineering, and social sciences.
