Sustainable Energetics Division
The Division was established on March 7, 2019, during a meeting of the Board of the Polish Association of Environmental and Natural Resource Economists, at the request of Association members.
The aim of the Division is to initiate and promote joint activities of Association members, together with researchers and practitioners, in the field of energy transition from a global, regional, or local perspective.
Chair of the Division: Prof. Dariusz Pieńkowski, PhD, DLitt (Poznań University of Life Sciences)
The Division closely cooperates with the Division for Water Pollution Control Economics, addressing the interrelationships between water management and energy management.
The Division’s interests particularly focus on the following theoretical and practical issues:
- Economic use of renewable resources
- Socio-economic determinants of the transition toward sustainable development
- Global, regional, and local conditions for the development of the energy sector
- Analysis of the interdependencies between socio-economic and ecological systems from the perspective of energy flows
- Shaping Poland’s energy policy
- Economic evaluation of energy projects
The Division places strong emphasis on developing national and international cooperation between scientific and academic institutions and practitioners in order to create joint scientific and educational projects and implement new solutions in the field of sustainable energy management.
Only members of the Polish Association of Environmental and Natural Resource Economists may join the Division.
