Environmental Politics, 20(5), 743-763.http://hdl.handle.net/10315/29211Climate change is at its core an energy problem. However, energy usage is not just an ecological problem. It’s a social one as well. Climate change requires us to look at our energy systems more critically and reduce the scale of impact we have on our surroundings. Political parties should also examine our energy systems as a common ground to form more effective climate change policy. The ultimate goal should be to adapt to an energy system that is more sustainable in the long term.Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.5 CanadaClimate ChangeEnvironment and SustainabilityResearch Summary
