This book offers a comprehensive exploration of climate justice intertwined with energy transitions, specifically focusing on the unique challenges and opportunities in developing countries. It presents a series of in-depth studies and discussions across various dimensions such as legal frameworks, economic incentives, gender issues, and the socio-economic impacts of energy policies. By dissecting complex relationships like those between renewable energy consumption and employment in Nigeria as well as the impacts of financial development, official development assistance, institutional quality and foreign direct investment on energy transition in Africa, this book illuminates the multifaceted nature of sustainable development. Starting with an overarching introduction to the imperatives of climate justice and the necessity for energy transition, the book delves into detailed analyses including the challenges and opportunities in renewable energy, the impacts of fossil fuel dependency and reforms, and the critical role of legal and institutional frameworks in supporting just transitions. Subsequent chapters discuss the gender-specific impacts of energy policies, the potential of international partnerships, and the entrepreneurial ventures emerging within just energy markets. Further, the book addresses public engagement, the educational imperatives for climate and energy literacy, and the intricate links between climate-induced migration, conflicts, and energy policies. It also explores the economic frameworks that can facilitate a just transition, evaluates the role of carbon markets in climate justice, and assesses how energy transitions impact water and food security. The book concludes by synthesizing key findings and offering strategic recommendations for integrating climate justice into energy transition policies. This final chapter provides actionable insights for policymakers, stakeholders, and communities aimed at fostering sustainable and equitable energy solutions. Targeted at policymakers, academics, and professionals involved in energy and climate policy, as well as students and researchers, this book serves as an essential resource for anyone committed to advancing sustainable and just energy transitions in developing countries.

Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
