“…However, counter‐narratives can succeed (Delina, 2022; Marquardt & Delina, 2019; Rennkamp et al, 2017). For instance, when RES initiatives are supported by wide coalitions (from the government, industry, and civil society), they become viable policy alternatives in FF‐rich middle‐income countries.…”

“…Different coalitions show comparable structures and discourses, integrating environmental and economic considerations and removing the apparent trade‐off between socioeconomic development and emission reductions (Rennkamp et al, 2017). Local anti‐FF movements may help to diversify climate action mobilizations: social movements and community activism can use the courts to halt FF projects or promote RES deployment, imagining energy futures that are diametrically opposed to the dominant FF‐based narrative, challenging power dynamics, and threatening the established energy imaginaries and the social order embedded in them (Delina, 2022; Marquardt & Delina, 2019).…”

Fossil fuels, stranded assets, and the energy transition in the Global South: A systematic literature review

Complying with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change requires leaving fossil fuels underground (LFFU), which raises justice issues regarding the Global South and its energy transition. The literature is scattered with no review papers on the challenges of LFFU in the Global South, hence we ask: What can be learnt from reviewing the scholarship on the Global South's energy transition, focusing on LFFU and the issue of stranded resources and assets? Our review reveals: (a) renewable investments in the Global South are relatively low for the scale of change needed, and such renewable deployment is more additive than substitutive. Nonetheless, there is potential for the Global South to leapfrog; (b) literature on LFFU in the Global South is limited, and much of it focuses on subsidies. However, developing countries might include stranded assets in their accounting, making LFFU appealing; (c) the Right to Development influences the energy transition's governance and justice issues: limited governance hampers LFFU, while understudied power dynamics shape transition's political economies. However, a global and multilevel just transition may have the potential to achieve LFFU. Thus, the literature overlooks (i) the dilemmas of stranded resources and assets from a developing country perspective and the implications in terms of equity, development, and climate change impacts; and (ii) the underlying power dynamics. Future research should investigate energy leapfrogging viability, critically assess renewables' additive rather than substitutive character in the Global South, and better identify the constraints to an inclusive energy transition, posed by North–South power dynamics and FF incumbents.This article is categorized under:Climate and Development > Social Justice and the Politics of Development

“…Similarly, policy change is typically used in a descriptive manner in existing research (Kelkar and Nathan, 2021;Patel et al, 2021). Studies that examine the policy process have created insights on various dynamics in this area, such as the consensus and conflict among different discourses or narratives-including energy access or energy for all-in the energy transition (Mohan and Topp, 2018;Shukla and Swarnakar, 2022;Wibisono et al, 2023); the importance of domestic and international politics in influencing policy activity on energy access (Byrne et al, 2018;Gore et al, 2019;Dye, 2021;Newell and Daley, 2022); the role of policy entrepreneurship in placing the issue on the agenda (Goyal et al, 2020); the challenges that access policies face during implementation, including complexities, corruption, discrimination, and resource logistics (Geall and Shen, 2018;Zaman and Brudermann, 2018;Aklin et al, 2021); and the potential of social movements in changing policy (Delina, 2022).…”

IntroductionThe target of universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services—key for individual, social, and economic well-being—is unlikely to be achieved by 2030 based on the current trend. Public policy will likely need to play a key role in accelerating progress in this regard. Although perspectives from the field of policy studies can support this effort, to what extent they have been employed in the literature on energy access remains unclear.MethodsThis study analyzed nearly 7,500 publications on energy access through a combination of bibliometric review and computational text analysis of their titles and abstracts to examine whether and how they have engaged with public policy perspectives, specifically, policy process research, policy design studies, and the literature on policy evaluation.ResultsWe discovered 27 themes in the literature on energy access, but public policy was not among them. Subsequently, we identified 23 themes in a new analysis of the 1,751 publications in our original dataset, mentioning “policy” in their title or abstract. However, few of them engaged with public policy, and even those that did comprised a rather small share of the literature. Finally, we extracted phrases pertaining to public policy in this reduced dataset, but found limited mention of terms related to the policy process, policy design, or policy evaluation.DiscussionWhile to some extent this might reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the research on energy access, a manual review of the abstracts of select publications corroborated this finding. Also, it shed light on how the literature has engaged with public policy and helped identify opportunities for broadening and deepening policy relevant research on energy access. We conclude that, despite their relevance to energy access, public policy perspectives have infrequently and unevenly informed existing research on the topic, and call on scholars in both communities to address this gap in the future.

“…By conducting scientific and rational mine development and management, their impact on the environment can be minimized. This can include reducing land damage, protecting water resources, and undertaking waste management and energy conservation [52][53][54]. (2) A comprehensive ecological restoration plan should be established to restore the ecosystems affected by mining activities.…”

Exploring the land-cover types and their changes in open-pit mining areas is of great significance to the ecological restoration of Ordos City and its sustainable development. Therefore, in this study, the temporal features, spectral features, and the derived features from intra-annual images combined with the random forest method were used to determine the land-cover types and their changes in the open-pit mining area of Ordos City in 2019 and 2022. The results show that the land-cover types in the open-pit mining area of Ordos City are construction land, bare land, water, vegetation, and coal. The main land-cover types in the western open-pit mining area of Ordos City are different from those in the eastern open-pit mining area. The main land-cover type changes in the open-pit mining area from 2019 to 2022 are the conversion of bare land to vegetation and the conversion of coal to bare land, as well as the conversion of vegetation to bare land. This study provides the possibility of dynamic monitoring for the realization of green mine planning in Ordos City.
