Society is inevitably moving beyond oil. The challenge of climate change is well recognized, renewable energy technologies are increasingly important in energy systems, and sustainability has become a critical parameter for urban and regional planning. Even though most agree that the observed processes of change are far behind what the climate science suggests is necessary, and political, economic, cultural path dependencies are evident, the transition is now. The question is how cities, regions and states manage and respond to on-going processes of change, and how sustainable, equitable and democratic outcomes will be.
The aim of this conference is to create an arena for discussing research on the social processes and geographies of climate and energy transformation.
