This book explores the linkages among economic development, energy,
and environment. An increase in economic activity is correlated
with a higher level of energy consumption, which in turn leads to
an increase in environmental pollution. Due to the influence of
greenhouse gases, the higher the concentration of pollutants in the
atmosphere, the higher the temperature, which ultimately leads to
climate change. Under these imminent dangers, the role of economic
and energy efficiency policies becomes important for ecological
sustainability. The present policies, however, in various
instances, have failed to address these issues. Hence, this book
embarks not only to suggest modifications to improve the efficacy
of the current policies but also to recommend to the policymakers,
new and more effective policies for their respective countries. The
book is bifurcated into two sections: The Economics and Policy of
Sustainable Energy section discusses renewable energy policy
responses to observed Impact of climate change using DPSIR
Framework; the energy utilization strategies for transportation and
commercial activities of Charland Bangladesh; the relationship of
market globalization with the Indian energy sector; the
socioecological effects of globalization from an energy perspective
brought to a local standpoint; the seasonal disaster-induced energy
consumption strategies of the char-dwellers of Bangladesh with
respect to their domestic chores and agricultural activities;
trends in GDP growth and energy usage in India; cross-border trade
of electricity; and the events that the oil and gas industry has
already faced and possible strategies it can adopt to overcome the
recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Economics and Policy
of Environmental Sustainability section analyses topics such as the
role of hyper-globalization in spreading the pandemic across
countries as threat to human ecology; the current scenario of
environmental consequences, and future prospects of plastic
pollution; the surface air temperature anomalies over selected
countries of Africa; the impaired roles of the female gender in
community natural resource exploitation in Ndop; the operational
expansion strategies for garnering better output in terms of
livelihood and conservation; opportunity for environmental justice
and rethinking global community; linking indigenous traditional
knowledge and sustainable development goals in the North-Western
Himalayas; and recommendations to manage dry forest carbon stock.
This book is a rich resource for policymakers, guiding them through
untraveled pathways. Moreover, it is an extremely helpful resource
for researchers, practitioners, industry professionals as well as
students in the fields of energy, environment, and sustainable
development with flavour of economics and policy.
