Critical Acclaim
‘This book demonstrates that energy is more than just a sectoral concern; it is a crosscutting concept that pervades all elements of society. Addressing the energy-climate nexus demands a coordinated and interdisciplinary strategy, as this book expertly demonstrates by considering the interconnectedness of business, technological, health, financial, legal, and policy systems. A must-read given the dramatic changes that we must achieve quicker than ever before in human history!’
