Growing concerns over environmental degradation due to fossil energy consumption in the last three decades have led to academic researchers providing insightful explanations and plausible solutions. This edited book extends and contributes to the existing literature with further fruitful discussions and suggestions with an interdisciplinary approach. I believe that both scholars and policymakers in the fields of energy and environmental economics would equally benefit from the content of this valuable research.
