{"c_title":"[M0.008600] Carbon Neutrality and Energy Transition Policies","c_info":"3 credits | Lecture\/Seminar | Doctoral | Dept. of Environmental Planning","c_summary":"This course aims to understand the meaning of energy transition required for carbon neutrality in the era of the climate crisis, identify what and how to change it for energy transition, what obstacles slow it down, and develop the ability to propose energy transition policies. To this end, we first understand the role and meaning of energy, the law related to energy, the definition of energy system and energy paradigm, and examine how energy has been used in society throughout human history, focusing on the relationship between energy and politics, economy, science and technology, resources, and the environment. Through this process, the fact that sustainable development is possible when considering the relationship between energy, environment, economy, and equity will be understood and the relationship between carbon neutrality and energy transition will be also understood in that context. Furthermore, by examining various energy policies by country by period, and understanding the contents of energy policies, what process and with whom energy policies are established, and who are the main actors in energy policy decisions, the process of energy policy decision-making will be understood. Through this course, students will be able to acquire the ability to analyze energy policies toward carbon neutrality."}
