MultiSector Dynamics: MultiSector Impacts of Energy Transitions

Session ID#: 122398

Session Description:
Technological advancement and energy & environmental policy have driven rapid changes in the energy sector, and these developments have pervasive influences on other economic sectors and natural systems. As these developments accelerate, there is an increasing need to understand the resulting feedbacks between human and natural systems. As part of the MultiSector Dynamics focus, this session invites presenters that are pushing the boundaries of understanding multisector impacts of energy transitions through innovative analysis pathways. Submissions should involve innovative analytical approaches to studying one or more energy sector transitions at any number of spatial, temporal, and sectoral scale and scopes. Multidisciplinary work is highly encouraged.
