Handbook of Energy Politics Autor Considine J.I. Fecha 2018 Fuente IUCN (ID: MON-093612) Editor | Lugar de publicación Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd | Cheltenham,UK ISBN 978-1-78471-229-7 Tipo de documento Monografía/libro Idioma Inglés Campo de aplicación Internacional Materia Energía Palabra clave Energía renovable Conservación de energía/producción de energía Resumen Assessing a rapidly changing landscape, this Handbook explores how the scope and complexity of energy politics increases constantly with the rise of new technologies, cyber security threats and environmental concerns. The Handbook of Energy Politics covers the evolution of capital and financial markets in the energy industry, as well as assessing the effects of technology and environmental issues such as global warming and geopolitical tensions. It is shown that a lack of consensus on basic definitions and clear long-term goals on climate and energy are hampering the sector’s ability to invest in low-carbon growth. The importance of achieving and maintaining positive relationships for effective consultation and engagement with those directly affected by energy politics is emphasized, with a focus on factors critical for sustainable development. The authors also assess what we can learn from historical cases and the steps we can take to mitigate potential energy risks in the future. Página web www.e-elgar.com
