Abstract
This chapter selectively highlights and synthesises lessons from the invited contributions Part II in light of the energy-related challenges presented in Chapter 2. Under the lens of each challenge rubric, the contributions are considered in turn, covering a wide variety of issues. Chapter 14 complements the conclusions drawn here with findings from the recent social science literature and offers suggestions for further research.

Notes
- 1.
As a metastudy, Sovacool and colleagues’ Chapter 4 does not directly address the energy-related challenges and is therefore not included in the analysis in this chapter.
- 2.
See in particular Kemmler and Spreng (2007).
- 3.
See for example Daniel and Mittal (2009) or http://www.ifpri.org (search for “land grabbing”). Web link accessed November 16, 2011.
- 4.
This is large-scale CCS for greenhouse gas reductions in addition to the more highly developed but much smaller-scale CCS technology for enhanced oil recovery.
- 5.
Security in the nuclear industry has the additional crucial dimension of protecting against proliferation of nuclear material for weapons purposes.
