'In summary, the book provides an interesting mix of energy topics
and perspectives that appears somewhat eclectic at first glance. .
. . the book is a very useful and scholarly addition to the
literature on energy governance and is recommended reading for all
those who need to be better informed on the challenges and some of
the solutions available at the current time.' - David Grinlinton,
Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law This timely book
makes an original and in-depth contribution to the debate about how
to transform our energy governance systems into ones that support a
fair, safe and sustainable society. It combines perspectives from
leading scholars to provide a global outlook on alternative
approaches to energy governance and innovative experiences. Taken
as a whole, it offers a unique overview of some of the innovative
and novel ways in which law can support the shift to sustainable
and equitable energy systems. The first section lays the conceptual
and theoretical foundations for alternative approaches to energy
governance, including its constitutional foundations, the role of
human rights, and an environmentally just system that seeks
universal access to energy for all. The second section showcases
concrete innovative experiences in energy governance from around
the globe, including smart cities, the role of the courts, energy
efficiency of buildings and the harnessing of energy from waste.
Finally, the authors consider the social justice dimension,
discussing the exploitation of energy resources by multinational
companies in developing countries and the importance of
agricultural production, distribution and consumption in energy
transformation. This unique overview of state-of-the-art approaches
to transformation of energy governance is vital reading for policy
makers and both legal and non-legal scholars concerned with energy
law, sustainability and justice, and global governance.
