SHAPING AN INCLUSIVE ENERGY TRANSITION KARTONIE...

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.
