Narratives of transition: technological versus behavioural, centralised versus decentralised, market mechanisms versus direct intervention;
Models for transition: regulatory, community and business;
Putting people at centre of energy transition: communities, workers, Indigenous Peoples;
Visions for transition – energy justice, energy commons, energy democracy.
Organised by

The Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (Potsdam);
The Climate and Energy Policy Research Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology (Kanpur) and;
