This open access book makes a case for a socially inclusive energy
transition and illustrates how engineering and public policy
professionals can contribute to shaping an inclusive energy
transition, building on a socio-technical systems engineering
approach. Accomplishing a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions economy
in 2050 is a daunting challenge. This book explores the challenges
of the energy transition from the perspectives of technological
innovation, public policy, social values and ethics. It elaborates
on two particular gaps in the design of public policy interventions
focused on decarbonization of the energy system and discusses how
both could be remedied. First, the siloed organization of public
administration fails to account for the many interdependencies
between the energy sector, the mobility system, digital
infrastructure and the built environment. Cross-sector coordination
of policies and policy instruments is needed to avoid potentially
adverse effects upon society and the economy, which may hamper the
energy transition rather than accelerate it. Second, energy and
climate policies pay insufficient attention to the social values at
stake in the energy transition. In addressing these gaps, this book
intends to inspire decision makers engaged in the energy transition
to embrace the transition as an opportunity to bring a more
inclusive society into being.
