“…Poor data collection and systematization, as well as politics (political choices, civil wars), are challenges to LMICs' energy transition policies (Relva et al, 2021). This may be addressed by examining contextual factors in order to understand the linkages between the energy sector and the country's growth (de Oliveira & Girod, 1990). Governments can only implement an effective transition policy if they encourage long‐term energy planning based on a thorough diagnosis of the energy system, provide information and develop “carbon risk competencies,” ensuring effective public engagement and stakeholder involvement (Bradley et al, 2018; de Oliveira & Girod, 1990; Relva et al, 2021; Vanegas Cantarero, 2020).…”

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

“…3 In other words, the expectation of major shortages in oil supply announced by these studies led to energy policies that avoided the expected shortage^.^ Although this was a substantial element, other factors played an important role as well. From our point of view, two factors were particularly relevant: -A passive approach to the consumers' role in the oil market that neglected the influence of both energy policies and technological change in energy markets (de Oliveira and Girod, 1990).…”

THERE IS A WIDE diversity of interpretations in the literature about the mechanisms that govern oil prices. None of them has been able to produce reasonable price forecasts. Indeed, forecasts produced in the recent past have been dramatically wrong. It is difficult to anticipate the price of oil: it depends on a large set of highly uncertain variables. However, estimates of future oil prices, or at least of a range of prices, are essential for policy-making. A better understanding of the interplay of the forces that affect oil prices is absolutely necessary. This paper aims to offer a contribution to the improvement of this understanding. It suggests a ra-
