Abstract:
The transition to a low-carbon future is crucial in addressing global energy challenges and mitigating the impacts of climate change. This review paper explores the role of regional resources in supporting the energy transition, focusing on strategies to overcome specific regional energy challenges. By identifying key regional resources such as renewable energy potential, human capital, and technological infrastructure, the paper highlights opportunities for regions to leverage these assets effectively. It also examines the importance of policy frameworks and governance in facilitating the transition and emphasizes the need for collaboration among public, private, and community stakeholders. Furthermore, the paper outlines future prospects for sustainable energy solutions at the regional level, recommending policy, technological, and economic strategies to enhance the energy transition and ensure long-term sustainability. The paper concludes by presenting a vision of resilient, self-sustaining regional energy systems that contribute to global decarbonization efforts.
