Tackling the Energy Transition: Insights from ASEAN and Beyond

Beschreibung

This book delves into the intricate dynamics of energy transitions within the ASEAN and East Asia region, focusing on the practical applications of various strategies. Through a series of insightful chapters, leading experts dissect key topics like carbon taxation, decarbonization, and the impact of energy transitions on carbon emissions, providing a nuanced understanding of the regional complexities. What sets this book apart is its pragmatic approach, offering concrete applications and policy implications. Each chapter not only explores theoretical aspects but also connects them with real-world scenarios, making this an essential guide for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars.

The scope of the book is broad yet focused, covering diverse topics from carbon taxation and forest sustainability to the challenges of energy transition in smart cities and comparative assessments of electric vehicle technologies. It provides a comprehensive overview of the economic, political, and environmental facets of energy transitions in the region.

Intended for a wide range of readers, including researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and students, the book offers insights at an advanced level but remains accessible to those with a general interest in energy and environmental studies.
