'This compact but incredibly rich volume provides a comprehensive and sophisticated analysis of the challenges and the opportunities that lie ahead of us in making the world 'greener' while promoting socio-economic development in developing countries. The vision is panoramic - not just energy transition but a whole array of ecologically-minded transformations are discussed - and the analytical framework holistic - the volume is not just about the economics of 'green' industrial policy and financing but about conflict management, coalition building, and social development. This is a 'transformative' book that will completely change your understanding of the 'green transformation' agenda.'
