Energy Transition: What For? For Whom? : a Tribute To The Life

The energy transition requires more than new technologies. It calls for a debate about political choices, inequalities, territories and public participation. It also requires asking who benefits from the changes underway, who bears their costs and who participates in the decisions that shape the future.

In tribute to the life and work of Célio Bermann, this book brings together interviews, memories and academic contributions on energy policy, extractive frontiers, energy poverty, environmental governance and climate justice. Different voices retrace his journey and demonstrate how his questions continue to guide research and debates on energy and society.

Combining scientific rigor with a commitment to the public interest, the book invites readers to consider the society we want to build through the energy decisions we make. Its chapters bring together knowledge, experience and critical reflection, placing communities’ rights and socioenvironmental justice at the heart of this discussion.

A tribute that turns memory into reflection and commitment.
