Description
The growing emphasis on energy economics and renewable energy highlights critical challenges and opportunities in global sustainability. Fossil and renewable energy sources significantly influence political stability, urbanization, and climate change, making their management essential for energy security and environmental health. Renewable energy, though still secondary to fossil fuels in consumption, is rapidly gaining importance as countries invest in clean energy to reduce dependency and environmental impact. Developing policies that promote renewable energy use is vital to addressing poverty, fostering equality, and achieving sustainable development. Geopolitical Landscapes of Renewable Energy and Urban Growth examines the intersection of renewable energy policies, geopolitical chokepoints, and their influence on urbanization and global energy security. It highlights the importance of transitioning to renewable energy to address environmental challenges, reduce dependency on fossil fuels, and promote sustainable development across diverse regions. Covering topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), human capital, and wave energy, this book is an excellent resource for policymakers, energy economists, urban planners, environmental researchers, professionals, and more.
