Dear colleagues,

This topic is of great relevance for several very critical reasons, one of the most crucial of

which is the urgent need to find solutions to deal with carbon management practices for

climate change management. As the world strives to find a way to deal with the effects of

rising temperatures and extreme weather events, there is an enormity of pressure being put on

governments, corporations, and communities worldwide to reduce their greenhouse gas

emissions. This pressure is being exerted on a global scale. The energy sector via energy

transition is at the forefront of the battle over these emissions since it is the sector responsible

for most of them. Therefore, it is vital to have a solid understanding of the risks associated

with the transition to a new energy source to create effective strategies for carbon

management and guarantee a smooth transition to a future with lower carbon emissions. In

addition, the transition to a more sustainable energy system presents entirely emerging and

sustainable strategies for carbon management that are different from those traditionally

associated with the energy sector. For instance, the transition to renewable energy sources

such as wind and solar power offers particular issues linked to the intermittent nature of the

energy they produce and the storage of that energy. Introducing cutting-edge technologies

like electric vehicles and intelligent grids brings a new era of cybersecurity challenges. In

addition, unique risk assessment methods are required because of the financial risks

associated with stranded assets in companies that rely on fossil fuels and the requirement for

substantial investments in renewable infrastructure. The dynamic and ever-changing

characteristics of the energy transition are another aspect of this topic's novelty that sets it

apart from others. Policies and technologies drive such energy transition, and the market

dynamics are vulnerable to rapid change. The ability to adapt to changing conditions and

anticipate novel risks is essential to successful risk assessment, which is made especially

difficult by the ongoing situation of transition that prevails. As a result, maintaining a

proactive stance in evaluating and managing these risks is essential for ensuring the resiliency

of energy systems and the financial stability of stakeholders in the energy sector.

In summary, the special issue "Energy Transition, Carbon Management Practices and

Sustainable Future: Assessing Vulnerabilities and Strategies" holds significant importance in

carbon management. In addition to addressing the urgent need to combat climate change, it

also examines the new risks and difficulties that the ongoing transformation of the energy

sector has brought about. Understanding, measuring, and proactively managing these risks

will be essential to securing a sustainable and resilient energy future as the world works

towards decarbonizing its energy infrastructure.

Objective

This special issue aims to encourage dialogue across various domains among scholars,

policymakers, and practitioners about the prospects and challenges posed by the global

energy transition in the context of climate change. Its purpose is to offer valuable

perspectives and potential solutions that might guide a sustainable and resilient path toward a

low-carbon sustainable future.

Scope

This special issue invites scholarly contributions that examine a wide array of themes at the

intersection of energy transition and climate change risks. We encourage the submission of

original research articles, case studies, reviews, and opinion pieces that delve into the

following aspects:

 Explore the preceding carbon management practices associated with the widespread

adoption of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, and how these

risks can be assessed and managed effectively.

 Examining the financial implications of carbon management risks for energy projects

and the role of sustainable finance in supporting the transition.

 Analyzing how the energy transition may reshape geopolitical dynamics and energy

security internationally.

 Energy markets are inherently volatile, and events like the COVID-19 pandemic and

the oil price war in 2020 had significant impacts.

 Assessing how technological advancements can mitigate climate risks in the energy

sector, such as grid modernization and energy storage solutions.

 Discuss novel carbon management methodologies tailored to the unique challenges

posed by the energy transition, including modeling techniques, data analytics, and

scenario planning using artificial intelligence (AI) Practices.

 Analyze the geopolitical carbon management-related risks arising from the global

energy transition, including the shifting influence of energy-exporting nations and

geopolitical implications of renewable energy technologies.

 Novel methodologies and models for assessing climate-related risks to energy

infrastructure and supply chains.

 Exploring the vulnerability of energy systems to extreme weather events and

changing climatic conditions.

 Environment and Social Psychology

 Energy and Social Psychology

 Economics and Social Psychology

 Management and Social Psychology

 Environment practices and Social Psychology

We welcome a diversity of articles, such as conceptual and empirical articles, reviews, critical comments, and meta-analyses, for submission to this Special Issue. We will accept manuscripts from different disciplines, addressing topics related to the scope.
