Dystopian Transition?

Abstract

Confirmed by the Paris Agreement (United Nations, 2015), the commitment to tackle the climate crisis and reduce carbon emissions worldwide produces major urban transformations for reducing dependence on fossil fuels. As noted by Blazquez, Fuentes and Manzan (2020), the move towards more sustainable energy sources and electrification is generally identified as the ‘energy transition’ which entails increasing reliance on renewable energy technologies, including solar among others.
