Energy transition is critical not just to tackle climate change but also for a more sustainable future. The recent global crisis has yet again shown the urgency with which the World should achieve energy transition without any further delay.
The main objective of this 5-day course is to provide an in-depth understanding of regulatory roles towards energy transition focusing on fundamentals, features, new developments, main drivers and outstanding challenges of energy transition, international policies and regulations culminating in a meaningful path to low carbon economy.
