The Race to Carbon Neutrality What Does it Mean for Territorial Autonomies and Diversity Management?

Abstract

This research note highlights the rapid development and implementation of sustainable energy policy and its effects on Territorial Autonomies. It explores current and potential future developments on the Åland Islands off the south-west coast of Finland, and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern China. Findings suggest that Territorial Autonomies would benefit from a more comprehensive sub-regional approach to global energy sustainability and carbon neutrality.
