The Peacebuilding Implications of Energy Transitions to a Carbon-Neutral Future
A 2020 paper which explores the peacebuilding implications of energy transitions towards a carbon-neutral future. It examines, on the one hand, the potential risks that abrupt or unmanaged ‘cut off points’ from fossil fuels may pose for peace, and the role that sustainable and 'just transitions' can play in mitigating this. At the same time, it analyzes the significant opportunities that sustainable and just transitions away from fossil fuels can provide for peace, socio-economic and political stability, health, environmental regeneration and justice globally.
