Abstract

Global warming and energy transition are two of the most important challenges humanity will ever meet. These are complex issues by themselves and by the interconnection they have with each other. The purpose of this chapter is to present an integrated picture of these problems, of their connections, and of a number of scientific and historical facts that should be known before elaborating scenarios for the future.
