Описание:
"Low-carbon Energy Security from a European Perspective" draws on the European Commission s funded project MILESECURE-2050 project. It considers low-carbon energy security and energy geopolitics in Europe, with a focus on four thematic clusters:
Challenging the energy security paradigm Climate change and energy security objectives (the components of a secure and low-carbon energy system) Energy security in a geopolitical perspective, as it relates to economics, resource competition, and availability The influence of large scale renewable energy projects on energy security and shift geopolitical alliances
An overarching narrative is that optimizing the energy system simultaneously across different objectives may be impossible (i.e., lowest cost, least environmental impact, minimal downtime, regional supply).
This book explores these charged topics through insights from a series of novel, new energy project case studies demonstrates the need for difficult political conversations, within Europe and beyond, by posing fundamental, yet new questions about the energy security paradigm. Offers a unique perspective on low-carbon energy security by considering the assumptions behind current energy security needs Suggests the benefit of envisioning energy security through out-of-the-box scenario development in respect to the energy system. Includes energy in an International Scenario with case studies from Africa, Russia, Ukraine, Morroco, China, Souith America and Europe."

Описание:
Several Asian cities have already invested in initiatives to build and promote Green Cities. Owing to the limited capacity of local governments, the funding of urban infrastructure has become a critical issue. Against this background, this book explores a new funding mechanism which demands the engagement of many stakeholders, including public-private partnerships.
This book offers guidance on how cities in selected countries can play a key role in the green growth agenda, by stimulating growth through smart investment in urban infrastructure such as through building a physical infrastructure, offering financial and tax incentives, and heightening society’s awareness of a sustainable lifestyle.

Описание: Deep reductions in energy use and carbon emissions will not be possible within political economies that are driven by the capitalist imperatives of growth, commodification and individualization. As such, it has now become necessary to understand the relationship between capitalism and the emergence of high energy habits. Using the examples of home energy, transport and food, The Political Economy of Low Carbon Transformation articulates the relationship between the politics of economic expansion and the formation of high-energy habits at the level of family and household. The book elaborates a theory of habit and how it can contribute to this relationship. It critiques mainstream green economy and green energy prescriptions for low carbon transformation that take economic growth for granted and ignore habits formed in a material world designed and built for high energy use. The book explores the growing number of communities around the world that are engaged in collaborative efforts to reform their community and household habits in ways that are less environmentally intrusive. It assesses their potential to make an impact on national and urban low carbon political agendas. The book is aimed at a large and growing interdisciplinary audience interested in the relationship between political economy, consumption and sustainability.
