dc.description.abstractThe transition from carbon-based to renewable energy is crucial to combat global warming. Multiple strategies and instruments - embedded in various governance structures - are applied to advance the transition. Given the nature of the prob-lem, the strategies cut across levels from the local to the global and include public and private actors: public authorities, governmental and administrative, political parties, associations, non-governmental organizations, firms, and private in-lividuals. All are called upon to contribute to decarbonization. When applying diverse strategies to achieve energy transition, such as hierarchy, polycentrism, and market processes, various political and social conflicts emerge between actors with diverging interests and power, leading to specific policy measures allocating the costs and benefits of decarbonization. Costs and benefits may be small and widely dispersed across many actors, or high costs and benefits may affect few actors; further, small costs may spread widely, and high benefits may fall upon few actors or high costs may affect few actors while small benefits may spread widely (Wilson 1980). The distribution of costs and benefits influences the political conflicts linked to introducing and implementing strategies and instruments targeting the reduction of carbon emissions. Once adopted, they rest on governance structures to secure the implementation of the adopted measures.en
