Introduction and Background

Abstract

This report highlights research from the Sino-Danish Center (SDC), the fruit of a consolidated and strong bi-lateral partnership for collaboration in science, technology and innovation between universities in China and Denmark. In 2020, SDC celebrates its ten-year anni-versary, making it a perfect moment to present some of the academic outcomes of this partnership. This volume constitutes a collection of research that brings to the fore one of the most important global challenges facing the world today: the energy transition. Addressing this challenge and achieving the sustainable development goals calls for international collaboration, and as the chapters in this report illustrate, bringing together scholars from different disciplines, backgrounds and geographies offers a holistic perspective for a sustainable transition. Moreover, the report simultaneously addresses the development, context, implementation and dissemination of energy transition solutions. We intend to draw attention to the work of two SDC research clusters: Sustainable Energy and Social Science. areas ensure are
