Trends and megatrends as an approach to modern futurology. Development and practice
In: Energy Transition and Megatrends- Interaction of Global Societal Development and Sustainability
Abstract
The energy transition does not take place in a "vacuum": It can only take place in the context of other profound processes of social change. Digitalisation, mobility, urbanisation - these and other major social developments are referred to as "megatrends". They are seen as signposts and social dimensions that must be taken into account when it comes to shaping the future. But what actually makes a development such a megatrend? And what influence do these megatrends have on the energy transition? The contributors to this volume discuss the conditions of megatrends as well as the challenges and opportunities that arise for the energy transition in the face of these major developments.Authors
