Keys for understanding primary elements in the debate surrounding this complex topic.

The climate crisis is a central concern of our current events. It has led to new policies that must be implemented at once, and constitutes a dizzying challenge for future generations.

This collective work puts its "cards on the table" by combining perspectives from economics, history, international relations, and political science. In twelve chapters, French and European academics from different generations and disciplines offer a survey of current thought on energy transition in France and all over the world.
