Renewable Energy Institute supported the Japanese translation of a "A New World: The Geopolitics of Energy Transformation," which was released in January 2019 at the 9th Assembly of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
The accelerating deployment of renewables has set in motion a global energy transformation that will have profound geopolitical consequences. Just as fossil fuels have shaped the geopolitical map over the last two centuries, this global energy transformation driven by renewables will alter the global distribution of power, relations between states and regions, the risk of conflict and the social, economic and environmental drivers of geopolitical instability.
Prepared by the Global Commission on the Geopolitics of Energy Transformation (Commission Chair: Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, former President of Iceland), this report provides a comprehensive analysis of the geopolitical consequences of the energy transition driven by renewables that involves almost all countries in the current global energy system.
