Summary
Research and analysis have highlighted the potential national security benefits of the green energy transition in terms of its economic, social, environmental and geostrategic payoffs. But these components have not been integrated in a strategic new approach to energy transition governance. We call this new approach Green Energy Statecraft, offering it as an ‘ideal type’ conceptual framework for researchers and national decision makers alike to better develop ambitious, strategic and effective green energy policy.
