This book investigates the complex interplay between global energy politics and the escalating crisis of climate change. It begins by defining the roles of energy and climate change in their interconnectedness, examining anthropogenic activities that disrupt their coexistence. The analysis then moves to the institutions and industries central to energy and climate change, followed by an exploration of energy economics and global economic development drivers. The book further addresses the impact of globalization on energy demand, the associated environmental costs, and the significance of energy transitions within the global political landscape. It concludes with a review of climate change mitigation strategies, carbon and ecological footprints, future sustainable frameworks, and the resulting political and economic trends, alongside the challenges at this convergence.

The book is positioned as a valuable resource for early career researchers, university teachers, and professionals in think tanks, suggesting a readership engaged with academic and policy-oriented analysis. The detailed structure indicates a comprehensive approach to understanding the multifaceted challenges arising from the intersection of energy politics and climate change. The scope covers foundational concepts, economic drivers, transition strategies, and future outlooks, aiming to provide a thorough overview for those involved in these critical fields. The work appears designed to equip readers with insights into the complex dynamics shaping global energy and environmental policy.
