Summary:

"This comprehensive Handbook examines the links between energy, the economy, and the environment. Esteemed international experts explore the ways in which energy contributes to economic growth, particularly in the context of geopolitical and climate uncertainties. Highlighting the importance of balancing environmental needs with economic development, the authors in this Handbook underline the socio-economic impact of environmental policies and regulations. They explore recent trends in energy efficiency and 'renewable' and 'green' energy sources, as well as developments in climate finance and corporate social responsibility and their impacts on the energy-growth nexus in key sectors such as agriculture, energy, health and tourism. Chapters include empirical assessments of the energy-economic growth nexus, analyses of the energy transition and associated challenges, advanced developments in energy-growth models and their practical applications. Focus is placed on multiple phenomena impacting energy supply and demand, including increasing climate concerns, ongoing international geopolitical tensions, energy physical realities, and the Covid-19 health crisis. Providing a range of cross-disciplinary perspectives as well as avenues for future research, this timely Handbook is a valuable resource for graduate students and academics in development and energy economics, business and environment science studies. It is also beneficial to analysts, policymakers and professionals working in the fields of energy and the environment"-- Provided by publisher.
