Significant progress has been made by industrial countries to reduce
emissions from the use of fossil fuels, but as the economies of the
less-developed regions of the world begin to expand, they too will face
similar challenges. This book looks at energy transitions being made in
developing countries, focusing on the adoption of renewable energy
systems in Africa, for example under the UN Sustainable Energy for All
programme, but also by the EU in the Former Soviet countries of Eastern
and Central Europe. It draws on experience from involvement with
programmes in the EU and Africa and will be of great interest to
academics, policy makers and practitioners in the development aid and
renewable energy policy fields.
