Abstract

The chapter delves into the paradox of development, where economic growth often comes at the expense of sustainability. It examines the role of geopolitics in shaping energy policies and the potential of renewable energy to mitigate climate change and reduce energy insecurity. The author discusses the challenges posed by resource nationalism and the importance of international cooperation in achieving a sustainable energy transition. The text also explores the impact of geopolitical tensions on energy markets and the need for a balanced approach that integrates economic growth, sustainability, and geopolitical considerations. Additionally, it highlights the role of emerging economies like India and China in the global energy landscape and the potential for renewable energy to bring about peace and stability.
