Course description

The energy metabolism and energy intensity of the economic model are questioned. Scenarios and alternatives for the transition from the hydrocarbon-based economic model to a more sustainable model are proposed. The international context of policies against climate change is presented. At a more regional level, energy policies and management and planning instruments are reviewed. Finally, at a local level, local savings, self-sufficiency and renewable energy policies are observed in sectors such as the smart city, electric mobility (buses, cars, bicycles, scooters) and building.
