Abstract
Transitioning to renewable and sustainable energy has been considered as one of the major drivers of keeping the global mean temperature rise well below 2 °C above the pre-industrial level as per the Paris agreement. Thus, energy policies of most of the countries at large have been aligned to sustainable energy with the objective of providing affordable and clean energy to all citizens along with decarbonizing the energy systems. Despite lots of effort put by global communities for cost-effective and environmentally friendly generation, distribution, and access to sustainable energy, there are many challenges to the realization of environmental sustainability and green energy. Therefore, analysis of economics and policies of energy and environment is of utmost importance before bringing any reforms to policies of sustainable development. In view of this, the book investigates the economics and policy aspects of both energy and environmental sustainability and interactions between them through many channels and suggests course of actions to help policymakers design effective policies for their respective countries. The current chapter is the snapshot of what the effort has been made in this book for the global policymakers and concerned stakeholders.
