Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines government strategies for promoting private sector investment in renewable energy, particularly in African countries. It also analyzes the effects of justice-oriented policies on electricity grid evolution and expansion in the U.S. The scope includes the European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism's impact on carbon leakage and low-carbon technology adoption, as well as the multidimensional nature of energy poverty in Nepal. Furthermore, it evaluates the prospective environmental impacts of energy communities using Life Cycle Assessment in Portugal and investigates structural constraints shaping energy policy design in low- and lower-middle-income countries facing challenges in reducing carbon intensity and expanding energy access.
