Climate change and advances in renewable energy technologies are setting the foundation for what may be the most significant energy transition since the industrial revolution, yet that transition is unfolding highly unevenly across the region. The \u003cem\u003eRoutledge Handbook of Arctic Energy Transition\u003c\/em\u003e brings together more than 30 chapters from leading Arctic energy researchers at the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Alaska Center for Energy and Power, the Asian Institute of Technology, and the University of Alaska Anchorage. It examines energy security nation by nation across Canada, the United States (Alaska), Finland, Iceland, Norway, Arctic Russia, Sweden, and Greenland, and situates Arctic energy planning within the wider frameworks of governance, Indigenous rights, community development, and global geopolitics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry-by-country energy security assessments across all eight Arctic states, including Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) and Arctic Russia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical case studies of community and Indigenous-led energy projects, including the Tu Deh-Kah geothermal project and bioenergy development in Galena, Alaska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated analysis of the global critical minerals rush for renewable energy technologies and its implications for Arctic sovereignty and security\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handbook is organised in four parts: (I) Arctic Energy Landscapes, covering energy security nation by nation; (II) Planning and Governance of Arctic Energy Transitions, including impact assessment, offshore renewables, community bioenergy, and nuclear risk perception; (III) Social Value of Energy in the Arctic, covering Indigenous worldviews, energy vulnerability, and community-led renewable projects; and (IV) Arctic Energy Transition in Geopolitical Context, addressing global energy security conflicts, energy poverty and just transitions, and the critical minerals race reshaping Arctic geopolitics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Editors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBram Noble is Professor of Geography and Planning at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada.
