"Understanding the energy transition is crucial for determining future business, societal and ecological trajectories. Upcoming economic, environmental and social change will depend on how energy policy will model energy transition and adapt to connected transformations. This paper has the purpose to draft a possible agenda to forecast and react to those changes. Opting for a sustainability perspective, the paper presents a possible roadmap, based on selected areas of intervention for the upcoming energy transition – knowledge, jobs, education, empowerment, regional cases, politics and policy action. The research argues that by acting on these pillars and consolidating duly action, the upcoming energy transitions will be more likely to experience desirable energy futures."
