Business and Biodiveristy

This research theme examines how people, institutions, and technologies interact as societies move toward low-carbon energy systems. It focuses on how local communities can take an active role in shaping their energy futures—through cooperatives, citizen initiatives, or partnerships with public and private actors. The research asks how energy transitions can be made socially fair, economically viable, and environmentally responsible. Typical cases include rural energy cooperatives, urban neighbourhood initiatives, and regional experiments in shared ownership and decision-making.
