商品描述

This book comprehensively analyzes the challenges and opportunities associated with transitioning to sustainable energy systems in Latin America. Recognizing that energy transition goes beyond mere changes in energy systems, it is also essential to address the imperative of ensuring a just transition and equitable benefits for all, particularly for vulnerable populations. This recognition emphasizes prioritizing social equity and inclusivity throughout the energy transition process. By adopting a critical perspective grounded in multidisciplinary approaches from the social sciences, the book delves into the complex energy transition issues, exploring the broader social, economic, and political dimensions involved.

The book is divided into four parts. Part I highlights the changing energy mix in Latin America and the geopolitical implications of the increasing reliance on renewable sources. Part II examines the dilemmas faced by countries that rely on oil and gas revenues andthe obstacles they face in transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Part III analyzes the production, technology, and costs as limits and opportunities for energy transition and adoption of renewable energies. Finally, part IV explores energy access and the democratization of energy generation in Latin America, including efforts to address energy poverty, the growth of distributed energy, and prosumers.

Energy Transitions in Latin America: The Tough Route to Sustainable Development is a valuable resource that will benefit researchers in energy studies and policymakers alike. It serves as a comprehensive guide for those seeking to navigate the complexities of energy transitions. It is an essential source for fostering informed decision-making and driving sustainable development in the region.

本書全面分析了拉丁美洲在轉型為可持續能源系統過程中所面臨的挑戰與機遇。認識到能源轉型不僅僅是能源系統的變化，還必須解決確保公正轉型和公平利益的必要性，特別是對於脆弱群體。這一認識強調了在整個能源轉型過程中優先考慮社會公平和包容性。通過採用基於社會科學的多學科方法的批判性視角，本書深入探討了複雜的能源轉型問題，探索了涉及的更廣泛的社會、經濟和政治層面。

本書分為四個部分。第一部分強調了拉丁美洲能源組合的變化及對可再生能源日益依賴的地緣政治影響。第二部分檢視了依賴石油和天然氣收入的國家所面臨的困境以及在轉型為低碳經濟過程中所遇到的障礙。第三部分分析了生產、技術和成本作為能源轉型和可再生能源採用的限制與機遇。最後，第四部分探討了拉丁美洲的能源獲取及能源生產的民主化，包括解決能源貧困的努力、分散式能源的增長以及生產者消費者（prosumers）的發展。

《拉丁美洲的能源轉型：通往可持續發展的艱難之路》是一本對能源研究學者和政策制定者都具有價值的資源。它為那些希望駕馭能源轉型複雜性的人提供了全面的指導，是促進知情決策和推動該地區可持續發展的重要來源。
