The transformation of the global energy system to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions requires en-gagement at all levels of society – from communities, regions and governments to numerous other stakeholders across the public and private sectors. Renewables and energy efficiency offer a safe, relia-ble and affordable way to achieve massive decarbonisation, in line with keeping the rise in global tem-peratures well below 2 °C. The combination of renewables, energy efficiency and increased electrifica-tion could achieve 90% of the reductions needed in energy-related emissions.

Renewable energy could help lessen the worst possible impacts of climate change. Indeed, renewable energy is one of the most effective tools we have in the fight against climate change, and there is every reason to believe it will succeed. Wind and solar energy have experienced remarkable growth and huge cost improvements over the past decade with no signs of slowing down. Prices are declining rapidly, and renewable energy is becoming increasingly competitive with fossil fuels all around the country. In some places, new renewable energy is already cheaper than continuing to operate old, inefficient and dirty fossil fuel-fired or nuclear power plants. This Special Issue invites submissions of novel and origi-nal papers and reviews on the nexus between climatic change and renewable energy, including but not limited to the following topics:

• Climate change impacts on renewable energy supply    
• Renewable energy sources and climate change mitigation    
• Electricity production and use    
• Sustainable energy development under climate change    
• Energy transition and decarbonization.

Keywords: climatic change; renewable energy; emissions; environmental economics; energy economics; Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC).
