The Contribution of Renewable Energy

Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy

The expanded group of BRICS nations informally known as BRICS+ encompasses of both established members and the new additions nations which includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These BRICS+ nations stand at the cusp of unparalleled growth and economic expansion. BRICS+ contributes significantly to global primary energy production, accounting for 48% of the sector.This book emphasizes the significance of energy for growth and sustainability, highlighting the role of BRICS+ nations in enhancing global energy resilience. This resilience could be achieved through collaborations, policy strategies, and economic implications, calling attention to energy trading free from sanctions. Further, it embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic landscape inhabited by the BRICS+ nations, a collective that includes established BRICS+ countries as well as new members. At its core, the narrative confronts the looming spectre of structural shocks, with a keen focus on the energy sector, and the profound implications these disruptions pose for the economic potential of these nations. What sets this work apart is its emphasis on the vulnerabilities of the BRICS+ nations, characterized by fiscally fragile economies heavily reliant on imported energy. It delves into the international externalities that make these nations susceptible, compounded by their geological predisposition to volatility. The book charts a course for change, proposing a systematic departure from these disruptions through academic insights and elaborations, laying the foundation for sustained and successful growth.As such, it will be a useful guide for academics, students, researchers and policymakers concerned with the discourse on sustainability and resilience in BRICS+ nations, paving the way for a more informed and innovative approach to the challenges faced by these nations in the interconnected global landscape.

A Policy Analysis Perspective

Energy Resilience and Sustainability in BRICS+ Economies

Small businesses help local economies grow, create jobs, and support communities. They quickly adapt to market changes with fresh ideas and new products. Many now focus on clean energy and sustainability to save money, stay strong, meet customer demands, and follow government rules. But business leaders face challenges, such as limited funds, lack of technical know-how, and fear of risk. These hurdles make it hard to pick the right clean energy options and upgrade systems in a fast-changing market. This book presents a CLEAR -- a simple, five-step -- framework to guide small business leaders in making smart clean energy decisions tailored to their operations.

A Clear Guide for Small Business Decision-Makers

Resetting Our Future - Navigating Clean Energy Choices

From the bestselling author and photographer of Earth from Above, which has sold millions of copies worldwide, comes Freshwater, a stunning photography book that unveils the secrets of an invisible world, where every freshwater river, lake, and stream has a story to tell.Earth from Above author and photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand is back with another heartfelt call to save our planet-only this time, he is raising awareness for the freshwater that makes up the a large amount of Earth's surface.With biophysicist, naturalist, and writer Bill François working alongside him, the duo explore the world through the lens of our freshwater systems, a fundamental yet largely overlooked element essential for life on Earth.Filled with Arthus-Bertrand's classic aerial photography that has sold over 2 million copies, Freshwater demonstrates freshwater's creation at the high mountain tops of ice-cold glaciers to its flow through Mexican cenotes, Balkan caves, the American Great Lakes, the Parisian Seine, and more.This gorgeous coffee table book not only shows off Earth's beauty, but also explores we are destroying it. Due to overfishing, pollutants, mismanagement, climate change, and other largely human-made issues, we are ridding the world of an important resource. However, through sustainable, global action, we can bring back the biodiversity in our waterways, allowing plant, animal, and human life to flourish.

Capital, Policy &amp; Power: The Complete Investor's Guide to the Global Renewable Energy TransitionThe global energy transition is no longer a question of whether - it is a question of how capital survives it. Spanning eight volumes and 42 chapters, Capital, Policy &amp; Power is the first institutional-grade investment treatise to map the full complexity of deploying capital into renewable energy across jurisdictions, technologies, and geopolitical regimes. Written for portfolio managers, infrastructure equity partners, project finance bankers, sovereign wealth fund analysts, and energy-focused fund managers, this work moves beyond advocacy and scepticism alike to deliver what the market has lacked: a rigorous, integrated framework for evaluating where real money meets real risk in the energy transition.At the heart of the book is the proprietary RISS (Renewable Investment Stability Score) - a multi-dimensional analytical framework that synthesises policy stability, grid infrastructure capacity, revenue structure, counterparty quality, technology obsolescence risk, and geopolitical context into a composite scoring methodology. RISS enables institutional investors to compare renewable energy opportunities across markets with the same analytical discipline they would apply to sovereign credit or infrastructure concession risk.Volume I establishes the macroeconomic and physical foundations: why cheap energy certainty has ended, what the electrification shock means for demand curves, why grid constraint has become the binding scarcity, and why the industry's standard metric - LCOE - has systematically misled capital allocators. Volumes II and III dissect the geography and mechanics of risk across the world's major energy investment theatres: the American tax-credit machine, Europe's stability model, China's industrial strategy, India's growth gamble, and the sovereign-backed solar states of the Gulf and Southeast Asia. Curtailment dynamics, merchant volatility modelling, storage revenue stacking, and the weaponisation of cost of capital as policy instrument are examined with the quantitative depth that institutional decision-making demands.Volumes IV through VI construct and apply the RISS framework, before confronting the geopolitical forces reshaping energy markets in real time - including the 2026 Iran-US conflict, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. policy retrenchment under the "One Big Beautiful Bill," the coal revival, the nuclear renaissance, and the rare earth supply chain crisis laid bare by the Trump-Xi summit. Volume VII maps America's energy dominance doctrine against China's industrial counter-strategy, with dedicated analysis of India, ASEAN, and the emerging Asian energy investment playbook. Volume VIII ventures to the frontier horizon: space-based solar power, Japan's OHISAMA programme, orbital AI data centres, and the commercial viability of off-Earth energy infrastructure.Published in its First Edition in May 2026, this work incorporates analysis current through the most significant disruption to global energy markets since the 1973 oil embargo - and demonstrates, with uncomfortable precision, that the frameworks developed herein anticipated the very crises now unfolding. Capital, Policy &amp; Power is not a book about why renewable energy matters. It is a book about how to invest in it without losing your capital, your discipline, or your strategic clarity.By Lankan Bal (JP) | First Edition, May 2026 |

CAPITAL, POLICY & POWER

The Mining Rush in the 21st Century: Dynamics and Outlooks for 2050 is a geopolitical analysis that explains how the global energy transition and the digital revolution are creating massive demand for strategic metals such as lithium and cobalt, forcing humanity to extract more resources in 25 years than in its entire history to combat global warming, while highlighting the risks of dependence, environmental challenges and opportunities for Africa. The book covers a broad spectrum, from the urgency of time - with a critical window of action closing in 2032 - to the vulnerabilities of supply chains, dominated by China (85% of rare earths) and the DRC (70% of cobalt). It highlights the paradox of the green transition: to save the planet from global warming, metals must be extracted on a massive scale, posing colossal technical, environmental, social and ethical challenges. The scope extends to technological innovation (AI in prospecting, seabed mining), Africa's pivotal role in sustainable development beyond the colonial extractive model, and projections up to 2050. Aimed at a diverse audience - researchers, students, decision-makers, NGOs - the book includes more than 50 graphs, case studies (e.g. scandals in the DRC), expert boxes and a glossary for accessibility. It stands out for its holistic approach, combining field expertise, quantitative data (IEA, USGS) and concrete solutions for responsible governance, bridging the gap between geopolitical and technical analyses. It also anticipates post-2025 trends to guide the securing of global supplies.

Dynamics and Outlooks for 2050

The Mining Rush in the 21st Century

This book investigates some of the key economic and societal transitions that define our contemporary world. Analysing financial contagion during crises, shifts in macro-financial linkages, transformations in gender equality and industrial structures, or the potential of fintech to foster intergenerational mobility, the authors seek to illustrate the forces reshaping economic systems and societal outcomes in emerging and industrialized countries. Particular attention is given to the relationship between Europe and Asia, with insights into the structural changes, including deindustrialization, energy transition, and gender inequality, seen within these parts of the world. The conference offered a space for lively debate and critical reflection on the varied but interconnected ways economies and societies have responded to new global conditions. The book can be read as a contribution to broader academic and policy debates. The book will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in international economics and economic policy.

Global Energy Law and Policy

Shifting Foundations for Investment Law

International Arbitration and the Energy Transition

The global energy sector is in flux, transitioning from reliance on fossil fuels to clean energy sources at an unprecedented pace. This book explores the complex interplay between this transition and international investment law. The book navigates the tension between attracting crucial and expensive investments in clean energy and protecting a state's right to regulate its energy sector for environmental and other reasons. It analyses how international treaties and investment arbitration tribunals are evolving to address these challenges, examining how the scope of investment protection is being redefined and the delicate balance between stability and regulatory flexibility is being recalibrated. The book delves into this complex landscape, exploring how established legal frameworks, especially international investment law, grapple with the unique characteristics of renewable energy, critical minerals, and rapidly evolving technologies. While offering a roadmap for the current energy transition, the book also identifies unanswered questions. It paves the way for further discussion on critical mineral supply chains and the future of international investment law in a transformed energy landscape.

International Investment Law and the Energy Transition

Routledge Explorations in Environmental Economics

This book explores the complex relationship between climate change and human behaviour, which is often shaped by cognitive biases, established norms, past experiences, and a tendency toward maintaining the status quo-making meaningful change challenging. It brings together a diverse range of contributions that examine international and industry contexts through the lens of behavioural economics, addressing persistent intention-action gap.The book is divided into three parts. Part I introduces the theoretical foundations and traces the evolution of scientific thought from classical rationality to bounded rationality and ethicality in the context of climate change. It includes a systematic bibliometric mapping of global research trends and examines the crucial role of information flows, media literacy, and disinformation in shaping climate attitudes. Part II focuses on climate change mitigation, presenting empirical studies on energy transitions, fossil fuel "addiction," and circular economy interventions specifically targeting the consumption patterns of adolescents and young adults. Part III addresses spatial and community adaptation, exploring mobility patterns, nature-based solutions in European cities, and the management of private green spaces. It concludes with global perspectives on climate migration narratives and the collective resilience of Small Island Developing States (SIDS).By offering a comprehensive and interdisciplinary look at human behaviour in the face of climate change, the book integrates advanced methods such as discrete choice experiments, social network analysis, and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) which inspires further research and action in this ever-evolving field. It is essential reading for academics, researchers, students, as well as economists, environmentalists and policymakers concerned with the economic and psychological dimensions of climate-related decision-making.

ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING FINALIST 2026LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 MOORE PRIZE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS WRITING'A tale of rapacious colonialism, Cold War spy games, dazzling technical innovation, big business rivalry, big power geopolitics [...] an unflinching, landmark work on the nature of extractive capitalism' Patrick Radden Keefe'Joseph Conrad called colonial ventures in Africa "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience". After reading this book you might want to add the words "until now"' The TimesHow we became addicted to a supply chain that wreaks havoc across the globe.Epic, shocking, and deeply reported, The Elements of Power tells the story of the war for the global supply of battery metals - essential for the decarbonization of our economies - and the terrible, bloody human cost of this badly misunderstood industry.Congo is rich. Swaths of the war-torn African country lack basic infrastructure, and, after many decades of colonial occupation, its people are officially among the poorest in the world. But hidden beneath the soil are vast quantities of cobalt, lithium, copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten, and other treasures. Recently, this veritable periodic table of resources has become extremely valuable because these metals are essential for the global "energy transition"-the plan for wealthy nations to wean themselves off fossil fuels by shifting to sustainable forms of energy, such as solar and wind. The race to electrify the world's economy has begun, and China has a considerable head start. From Indonesia to South America to Central Africa, Beijing has invested in mines and infrastructure for decades. But the U.S. has begun fighting back with massive investments of its own, as well as sanctions and disruptive tariffs.In this rush for green energy, the world has become utterly reliant on resources unearthed far away and willfully blind to the terrible political, environmental, and social consequences of their extraction. If the Democratic Republic of the Congo possesses such riches, why are its children routinely descending deep into treacherous mines to dig with the most rudimentary of tools, or in some cases their bare hands? Why are Indonesia's seas and skies being polluted in a rush for battery metals? Why is the Western Sahara, a source for phosphates, still being treated like a colony? Who must pay the price for progress?With unparalleled, original reporting, Nicolas Niarchos reveals how the scramble to control these metals and their production is overturning the world order, just as the global race to drill for oil shaped the twentieth century. Exploring the advent of the lithium-ion battery and tracing the supply chain for its production, Niarchos tells the story both of the people driving these tectonic changes and those whose lives are being upended. He reveals the true, devastating consequences of our best intentions and helps us prepare for an uncertain future. If you have ever used a smartphone or driven an electric vehicle, you are implicated.
