Abstract

This handbook addresses the urgent need in the Global South to tackle climate change, global energy transitions, and sustainability – areas that, due to their importance, have increasingly dominated international policy discourses and scholarly debates. We begin by outlining the general nature of the subject and highlighting several reasons we believe have contributed to its relative neglect. We also contend that these issues have relevance to certain other regional contexts.
