Energy and Transport in Green Transition (eBook, ePUB)

Perspectives on Ecomodernity
Redaktion: Midttun, Atle; Witoszek, Nina

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book breaks new ground in the studies of green transition. It frames the ongoing transformation in terms of a "battle of modernities" with the emerging vision of ecomodernity as the final destination. It also offers a systematic exploration of the potential for extensive transformation of carbon-intensive sectors - with a focus on energy and transport - towards a low or post-carbon economy. The book does so in a comparative perspective, by pointing to a diversity of techno-economic and institutional solutions in the mature Western economies, and in the rapidly growing East and developing South.
