摘要:This article briefly surveys three emerging global challenges related to climate change, electricity and energy, and transportation before summarizing the contributions from this special issue of Policy & Society . Articles in the issue attempt to inform policymakers, scholars, and even members of the public to make better decisions about energy, electricity, modes of transport, and greenhouse gas emissions. In doing so, they cover a wide range of technologies, policies, scales, and case studies. Such a discussion is urgently needed given the interconnected nature of the world's impending climate, energy, and transport needs.
