This book provides an analysis of the concurrence of energy politics and global climate change. The book starts with an explanation of what roles energy and climate change play in the correlation process and the anthropogenic activities that hamper the smooth functioning of their co-existence. The next part discusses the institutions and industries directly related to energy and climate change. The third part focuses on energy economics and markets to understand the global drivers for economic development. After that, the book presents the world's energy demand due to globalization and the environmental cost involved, followed by the part highlighting the importance of energy transitions and the extent to which the global political set-up is engaged in catering to those transitions. The sixth part of the book takes a comprehensive view of climate change mitigation strategies and carbon and ecological footprints, followed by discussions of future scenarios for building a sustainable framework and forecasts of the resulting political and economic trends. Finally, the last part deals with the challenges faced during the convergence of energy politics and climate change. The book is a valuable resource for early career researchers, university teachers, and professionals in think tanks.
