This book explores the complex relationship between energy and development and discusses the core issues and concepts surrounding this growing area of research and policy.
In the field of energy and development, the world faces two major challenges: (1) Providing energy access to the roughly one billion people worldwide who do not have access to electricity and the nearly three billion people worldwide who do not have access to clean cooking fuels; (2) achieving socioeconomic development while limiting global atmospheric temperature increases to 2 degrees Celsius to mitigate climate change. Taking stock of progress, Frauke Urban explores the key issues surrounding these goals and addresses the policy responses aimed at ending energy poverty and achieving sustainable development. She outlines various options for delivering energy access, analyses past and prospective energy transitions and examines the social, environmental, economic and technological implications of these possibilities. Taking a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach and containing useful teaching resources, Energy and Development provides a comprehensive overview of this complex field of study.
This book will be a great resource for postgraduate and undergraduate students, scholars, practitioners and policymakers working in the fields of energy studies, international development, environmental studies, industrial engineering, as well as social sciences that relate to energy and development.

Softcover. Condizione: As New. This book delves into the intricate relationship between energy and development, addressing critical issues and concepts in this evolving research and policy area. The world faces two primary challenges: providing energy access to approximately one billion people without electricity and nearly three billion lacking clean cooking fuels, while also achieving socioeconomic development within the limits of a 2 degrees Celsius increase in global temperatures to combat climate change. Frauke Urban assesses the progress made towards these goals and discusses policy responses aimed at eradicating energy poverty and fostering sustainable development. She evaluates various strategies for delivering energy access, analyzes historical and potential energy transitions, and considers the social, environmental, economic, and technological implications of these approaches. Adopting a holistic, multi-disciplinary perspective, the book includes valuable teaching resources and offers a thorough overview of this complex field. It serves as an essential resource for postgraduate and undergraduate students, scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in energy studies, international development, environmental studies, industrial engineering, and related social sciences.
