Energy and Climate Change: Our New Future

Editat de Trevor Letcher, Vasilis M. Fthenakis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2025
Energy and Climate Change: Our New Future provides an understanding of future energy, energy transition, and climate change. Sections cover key concepts, enabling readers to better understand root causes and future implications while also assessing the current role and future outlook for fossil fuel-based energy sources. Coverage of the very latest cleaner energies gives readers tactics to solve the problems of global warming and climate change. The book also explores how various renewable energy options are affected by climate change, such as strong winds impacting wind turbines, flooding of renewable energy infrastructure, droughts affecting hydroelectric schemes, rising temperatures affecting solar panels, and more. This is an invaluable resource for all those with an interest in energy transition, renewable energy, climate change, and sustainability, including researchers, graduate students, scientists, engineers, practitioners, consultants, industry leaders, urban planners, and government personnel.


  • Explains the fundamentals of climate change, global warming, energy transition, and future energy, and the connections between them
  • Reviews current options and future pathways in the transition to non-fossil fuel energy systems, including environmental impact, safety, and potential capacity
  • Offers complete, authoritative coverage written by leading global experts
