Overview

The challenge to keep global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels has become even greater due to a continued increase in greenhouse gas emissions (IPCC, 2023). One major challenge is the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy to reduce emissions (Gholami et al., 2016). The share of renewable energy in electricity generation has increased to 28.3%, however, an acceleration of the pace of the transition is required to limit global temperature rise (REN21, 2022).

In this project we investigate public perceptions of the sustainable energy transition by conducting a social network analysis, which we expect will contribute to improve our understanding of the acceptance and resistance of the adoption toward renewable energy technologies.
