The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5, 7, and 8 aim to achieve gender equality for women, ensure affordable and sustainable energy, and promote economic growth and decent work for all, respectively. However, women remain underrepresented within the sustainable energy sector...

This paper provides a non-technical and selective explanation of the theory of innovation and economic growth, in light of the 2025 Bank of Sweden Prize in Memory of Alfred Nobel, awarded to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt. Their body of scholarship is critically evaluated, and the...

The design of energy policy mixes plays a critical role in low-carbon transitions. While an increasingly diverse and extensive array of policy mixes may enhance systemic transformation, it can also generate policy conflicts that undermine effectiveness. To examine this tension, this study...

Green technologies are innovative methods for reducing environmental impact and enhancing resource efficiency, thereby significantly promoting sustainable power production. This comprehensive review has been discussed the significant impact of energy management and green technology on advancing...

We assess how changes in the scientific consensus around equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS), as captured by the IPCC’s Fifth (AR5) and Sixth (AR6) Assessment Reports, impact policymakers' willingness to take climate action, including through increasing subsidies to investments that will...

The Philippines is actively pursuing a renewable energy (RE) transition to meet its NDC targets and the COP28 pledge to triple global RE capacity. Under the Philippine Energy Plan 2023–2050, the government aims to raise the RE share to 50 percent by 2050, supporting energy security and the...

"This book contributes to the emerging global discourse on sustainable entrepreneurship by highlighting its transformative potential to harmonize economic growth with environmental sustainability. It emphasizes the role of innovative, sustainability-driven entrepreneurs in reshaping production...

As the combination of digital technology and traditional inclusive finance, digital inclusive finance has displayed the huge potential to promote green low-carbon energy transition. Although theoretically, digital inclusive finance can contribute to achieving this goal, its practical effects and...

As electricity systems undergo rapid decentralization and decarbonization, ensuring resilience to increasingly complex and high-impact disruptions has become a strategic imperative. However, current approaches to resilience measurement remain fragmented, inconsistent, and poorly aligned with the...

Retrofitting gas-fired power plants to accommodate low-carbon fuel blends offers a promising pathway to achieving deep decarbonization while leveraging the existing infrastructure and maintaining electricity supply reliability. This study presents a comprehensive techno-economic assessment of...

The climate crisis requires a transition from a fossil-fuel energy system to renewable energy which is heavily reliant on the so-called critical minerals. Both sets of resources are finite/non-renewable and have been widely used for generations. Previous energy related studies have identified...

The demand for critical minerals is rising in support of the low-carbon energy transition, as well as global economic growth. Despite its hostile environment, the Arctic is a region with historic and existing mineral production. This paper assesses the potential of the Arctic to make a...

The aim of this project is to identify the investment requirements for energy infrastructure across each TEN-E infrastructure category, as well as for non-TEN-E electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure, in order to enable a decarbonised economy in the EU. It also evaluates the...

This working group report from the Green Deal Projects Support Office provides an in-depth look at the innovative clean energy projects driving decarbonisation and energy efficiency. Covering advancements in renewable energy integration, hydrogen production, and energy access in Africa, the...

Greater Asia is emerging as a major factor in the global energy transition. This shift is associated with growing independence from external actors such as the European Union and the United States, with unfolding developments increasingly concentrated within the region itself. Key trends include...

Industrial policy has a long history, having been used by many governments to encourage economic development through the provision of direct financial support and/or supportive regulations to specific sectors and industries. Over the past decade, the energy transition has increasingly forced...

The European Union (EU) has committed to an ambitious climate strategy applying the "Fit for 55" package aimed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. However, the feasibility of these targets varies across Member States due to the differences in...

The transition to decarbonized energy systems requires addressing diverse stakeholder interests. Yet current stakeholder analysis limits itself to mostly policymakers and experts. This study examines priorities and coalitions among Swiss stakeholders in energy and climate policies, by applying...
