<strong><em>Abstract</em></strong> <em>The global community faces multifaceted encounters, including climate change, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and social inequalities, which threaten ecosystems, livelihoods, and societal progress. In this context, the concepts of a green economy, sustainable development, and just transitions have emerged as key frameworks to address these interconnected issues. A green economy promotes economic growing while minimizing ecological risks and fostering social inclusivity. Sustainable development focuses on meeting present requirements without flexibl

Abstract:

<em>The global energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the need to address climate change, energy poverty, and sustainable development. As the world transitions away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources, it is essential to consider the social and economic implications of this shift, particularly for communities that have been historically dependent on fossil fuel production. This paper focuses on fostering gender-just energy transitions in fossil fuel producing communities, highlighting the importance of considering gender equality and social justic

We aim to fill this gap by proposing collaborative sustainable business modeling (CSBMing) as a participative multi-actor approach aimed at value network innovation to accelerate sustainability transitions.

Abstract:

Mounting impacts of climate change have increased calls for a planetary energy transition, usually understood as the decarbonization of the global economy. All too often, however, these calls rely on technological or legislative measures, betraying an apolitical understanding of climate change and insufficient appreciation for the uneven global distribution of safety, risk, and power. Through an examination of recent events in Cuba and Venezuela, this article asks how prevailing calls for energy transitions to post-carbon futures reflect the combined and uneven present, replicating the inequal

Abstract:

The rising demand for energy and the aim of moving away from fossil fuels and to low-carbon power have led many countries to move to alternative sources including solar energy, wind, geothermal energy, biomass, and hydrogen. Hydrogen is often considered a “missing link” in guaranteeing the energy transition, providing storage, and covering the volatility and intermittency of renewable energy generation. However, due to potential injustice with regard to the distribution of risks, benefits, and costs (i.e., in regard to competing for land use), the large-scale deployment of hydrogen is a contes

The concept of just transition, based on the same foundations of justice, creates directions for socio-economic transformation based on a sustainable and low-carbon economy. Energy solidarity

Science, technology, and international climate policies provide some promising steps toward a practical net-zero economy path. Policies, innovations, and technologies play a critical role in supporting the energy transition agenda toward a sust

Abstract:

This study addresses the urgent need for comprehensive climate education amid a climate emergency. Human (energy) behaviors are developed from childhood and early adulthood. This study hypothesizes that transcending a nation’s net-zero energy ambition can be accomplished through experiential education. An Urban Governance Lab plus nEt-Zero Energy league model is introduced. Various behavioral interventions are designed based on the principles of serious games. Discussions provide rich narratives on how a nation with so many diverse communities can forge a rapid net-zero transition. The blended

Abstract:

The intersection of energy, environment, and industry presents distinct challenges and opportunities in rural and urban settings, highlighting disparities in access, impact, and policy effectiveness. This paper examines the systemic inequities between rural and urban regions in the transition to a sustainable energy future. It explores how policies and technologies can promote a just transition that ensures equitable economic development, environmental protection, and energy access for all communities. The key findings reveal that the average urban environmental pollution has transitioned from

Abstract:

Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is a potential source of bioenergy but it is also known as one of the biggest emission's contributor from palm oil industry thus capturing the produced methane (CH4) is necessary in creating a sustainable energy for the environment. This article examines current regulations of generating electricity from POME. The ultimate aim is to promote renewable energy deployment in Indonesia in order to support the just energy transitions to a low carbon economy. By using legal doctrinal and socio legal research, this study initially looks at the existing regulations. Afterw

Abstract:

The transition to sustainable energy in China is closely intertwined with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks within the water–energy–land–food (WELF) nexus. This study examines the complex interdependencies among these resources and evaluates the ESG challenges that may hinder or accelerate the energy transition. By integrating policy analysis and quantitative risk assessment, this research identifies key ESG risks, such as water scarcity, land-use conflicts, food security concerns, and social equity issues. The findings highlight the need for holistic governance frameworks and

Abstract:

The international community has become increasingly concerned with sustainable development and particularly with preventing climate change. The COVID-19 pandemic and global recession of 2020 will exacerbate the situation not just for 2020–2021, but for many years to come. Sadly, it is a game-changer. The necessity to solve problems of poverty (energy poverty) and inequality, as well as growth and climate change mitigation, now haunts intellectuals, forecasters, and politicians. These three problems constitute the global energy trilemma (GET). There is a wide range of forecasts, scenarios, and

The transition towards green and decent jobs is a critical imperative for sustainable economic growth and environmental well-being. However, amidst global efforts to combat climate change, India faces the challenge of achieving inclusive economic growth. This paper delves into the juxtaposition of two distinct narratives in the realm of green and decent jobs, exploring the disparities between India and Denmark, an exemplar of sustainable development in Europe. Currently Denmark runs mostly on renewable Energy, around 75% of energy comes from renewable energy sources, with Denmarks trajectory i

Abstract:

Facing substantial sustainability challenges, sustainable transitions to circular systems are increasingly called for. The use of biomass to produce textile fibers is a niche that could contribute to a circular textile system. In this niche, farmers supplying biomass would play a crucial role. Through a literature review, we argue in this article that farmers are important actors in this context, but their agency is limited by numerous institutional factors, such as cultivation practices, labor markets, and information systems. These factors together can create an institutional void, which can

Abstract:

After overusing the expression Sustainable Development, some action plan was needed to switch from rhetorical to transformational change. One of the answers was to propose the word Transition as a roadmap leading to the necessary level of change. A Transition is a passage from one stable regime to another, with a step that is neither instantaneous nor dangerous, like a Revolution, but is fast enough, anyway. The first Transition in the 2010s was the Energy Transition, i.e. a move towards less fossil fuels and more renewables. It started everywhere more or less at the same time, but Germany and

It describes recent global climate change responses impacting the operation of CFPPs, and the medium-to-long term prospects for coal power. The paper then discusses the motivators and strategies for sustaining the operations of CFPPs in SADC, and why the international community has to let countries in the region and other small developing nations, transition to renewable energies at a more measured pace.
