The current energy system based on fossil fuels is one of the most damaging human activities on the environment. A radical change is needed in energy planning as a critical step towards a system that could take socio-ecological systems into a safe environmental space. This course focuses on renewable energy technology in Denmark, Germany, and Spain. Specifically, how a renewable energy system can be planned integrating the technical, social, environmental, and economic perspectives.
