Towards climate neutrality: Economic impacts, opportunities and risks

The idea of the monograph is to present interdisciplinary energy-related research by scientists from different countries to support policy makers, researchers of green transformation processes, etc. on the challenging path to climate neutrality. Research has been carried out in accordance with the implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change, the European Green Deal, the strategic vision "Clean Planet for All" and other EU priorities in the field of climate change mitigation, energy, environmental sustainability and mobility. [ABSTRACT IN LATVIAN] Monogrāfijas ideja ir prezentēt dažādu valstu zinātnieku starpdisciplinārus enerģētikai veltītus pētījumus, lai atbalstītu politikas veidotājus, zaļās transformācijas procesu pētniekus u.c. izaicinājumiem bagātajā ceļā uz klimata neitralitāti. Pētījumi ir veikti saskaņā ar Parīzes nolīgumu klimata pārmaiņu jomā, Eiropas Zaļo kursu, stratēģisko redzējumu "Tīra planēta visiem" un citu ES prioritāšu īstenošanu klimata pārmaiņu mazināšanas, enerģētikas, vides ilgtspējības un mobilitātes jomā.
